[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We are in a high income school and no one talks about these tests at all. No one cares including the teachers.[/quote] Wow, I wish I had thought about that before we bought our house. We have only 25% FARM, but it's still test-centered and stressful at our school. It's so unfair.[/quote] We were at a high income school (less than 10% farm) and the teachers/principals went ABSOLUTELY INSANE talking about the sols. My kid had stomach aches everyday and talked about the sols CONSTANTLY. I told him to quit worrying about it every day, but it didn't help.[/quote] IME, the two things that send schools down the path of endless test prep are lower income and less-senior teachers/administrators. Our inbred ES was much more laid-back about SOLs before we got a new principal. The MS and HS have always been more diverse, and they've had a lot more test prep. [/quote]
