[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is that there are baseline issues if your child failed. Knowing that ASAP is pretty important. I don't think you need to know how well they did if they passed, but parents of kids who failed should be able to know or be told by teachers quickly. I don't see the argument why beyond kids who are in the retake window (and they are informed quickly). [/quote]

But why do you need to be told "quickly?"  All scores will be posted in SIS the week of 6/12.  That's enough time for you to email the school if you see your kid failed and ask for the SDBQ which will tell you the standard for each question your child got wrong.  Then you can use that information to remediate your child over the summer should you deem that necessary.

Knowing that score a week or two prior to that 6/12 window will not make any difference in your plan of action. [/quote]

NP and it seems like a control issue, nothing more.  One of my students retook an SOL yesterday.  I was able to find out the school and tell her she passed with the exact score before she left for the day. Kids worry and it’s a nice thing to do.   If anything, the elementary teachers do more SOL prep than in HS and then refuse to give results.  It’s stressful for the students.  -HS teacher and parent of an elementary kid[/quote]
