[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]The elementary teacher had NO right to tell your child that they failed! I hope you went to the principal and then up the chain if need be. A lot of elementary schools do remediation within the classroom in small groups. All children(even those that passed) are working on different things. A good teacher, and administration will make sure the kids are not aware of who failed, who is retaking. Teaching in a few different schools this has always been the protocol. I'm sorry your child had to go through that.[/quote]
