[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade? ES it doesn't matter. HS does have some classes that you have to pass the SOL.

If your kid is in ES, I would look at practice questions and help her get comfortable with the format. She has to pass some eventually, use this as practice for taking this type of test. [/quote]

Nope.  This should be happening at school. Not at home. Signed FCPS teacher [/quote]

My oldest is a senior in HS, and I always had her do practice SOL problems in grade school (3-6) for each subject both online, and flash cards. It wasn't so much for SOLs, but for getting her used to format testing for the SAT. Also, showing her that WE as her parents thought it was important to try your best on the SOL. I didn't expect perfection, but I expected my kid(s) to try, and it would never have occurred to me to put it all on the teacher. The mother is a child's first educator. I did my part to give them a good foundation. My kids usually got pass advanced on those tests, and senior is off to a good college. My senior studied for her SAT on her own, no tutor. I do think the SOL prep showed her how to prepare for a standardized tests later on. Most of all, parents need to show some investment or young kids don't bother to try.[/quote]
