[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there 5 SOLs in 8th grade? That is crazy. I think 3 should be the max.[/quote] Well at some point I'd like there to be a writing test. I wish the 5th grade would have stayed. They're always interested in dropping the writing ones because those take longer to grade. Alternate the science and social studies if it's a problem. I took the IOWAs every year and it had a slew of different subjects. There were 6-8 subjects that kids were tested on as they got older. Maybe these tests are just too longer per subject and each subject needs to be scaled back.[/quote] The schools don't do the grading, so that can't have been the reason.[/quote] It costs more to grade these tests and it takes more time. This is why the writing test was an easy target to take out when parents were clamoring to get rid of SOL tests.[/quote]
