[quote=Anonymous]It makes sense to put greater weight on standardized test scores for the 6th grade math placement, because those kids don’t have any math grades from elementary school (thanks to standards based grading). However, it’s insane to place rising 7th and 8th graders into their math section based on two standardized tests and not look at their actual performance in class. If you have a kid way above the cut on one test, with straight As in 6th and 7th grade math, they are clearly ready for the more advanced math pathway even if they were slightly below on the SOL or the MAP. 11 & 12 year old kids should be allowed to have an off day on a standardized test and not have their whole academic track derailed through high school. Even high school kids get more than one chance to take the SAT.[/quote]
