[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So if you don't pass SOLs in ES ...  there is no need for a retake? It doesn't affect you?

... Is that correct?[/quote]

At our ES all students who didn't pass an SOL were grouped together in the same class the following year. Let's call it tracking.[/quote]

What if your kid is in AAP? They can't track them. Do all AAP kids pass SOLs? Don't they take the SOLs of the year ahead of them? My oldest is in K so I know nothing. [/quote]

In Elementary School all the kids take the same SOLs with the exception of the Advanced Math classes.  Starting in 5th grade, the Advanced Math class will take the 6th grade SOL, because they are being taught the 6th grade math curriculum.  The 6th grade Advanced Math class takes the 7th grade SOL.[/quote]

So what happens if an AAP kid doesn't pass SOLs in ES or MS? They won't be tracked into lower classes. Should they re-take it?[/quote]

I have a little math whiz in AAP.  Although he knows his stuff very well according to his teacher, he struggles with long math tests because of sever inattention.  So, out of 60 questions, he'll get the first  30 right, and just guess anything that requires a lot of work from then on.  He has not failed a Math SOL, but he is definitely not passing advanced.  I would not make him retake the test anyway.[/quote]
