[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Failing an SOL doesn't necessarily get you more services or remediation.  I think passing a retake can help a kid's confidence.  Can you imagine failing at a school with 90% pass rates? That must feel awful for a kid.  [/quote]in elementary school a child never has to know if they passed or failed a SOL UNLESS a parent tells them! Therefore at that level, boosting confidence is irrelevant unless you tell them they failed.[/quote]

A teacher told my son he failed it when he was in 3rd grade and started remediation for a retake without our permission.  [/quote]

You don't need parent permission to reteach and/or remediate. [/quote]

They don't need my permission to have my child retake an sol? That's news to me! Pp, are you ok with teachers telling your child (in third grade!) that they failed an sol? Are you ok with your child being pulled out of class and stuck in a group so that an overly stressed teacher can "remediate" them and lose her temper out of frustration because the kids aren't experienced test takers yet and aren't doing it the right way? I'm not. My child has an iep bc he has some special needs, but he comes close enough to passing each time that they ask permission for a retake. So, yeah, I'd say the standard is that they ask for parent permission before retakes in elementary school. And a teacher telling a third grader they failed is WRONG. Way to motivate them  :roll: [/quote]

You need to chill and read again.

The complaint was that the teacher started remediating before permission for the retake was given. I said a teacher doesn't need a parent's permission to remediate. That happens all year long and can occur even if a parent does not give permission for the retake.

The teacher's behavior is a separate issue.[/quote]

No, the complaint was that the teacher told my third grader that he failed the sol. Then you came in with your comment. You strike me as someone who likes to cause trouble.[/quote]
