[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS's school is a targeted improvement school. They now have targeted SOL study blocks every day. That costs them 10 minutes of class time per real class every day. Some of the parents with LIV kids are protesting by opting out of SOLs. Hopefully the school sees how many kids who normally pass advance are opting out and reverses course. If not, the scores will drop further and we'll get new school leadership.  [/quote]

The parents are idiots. The school already knows what kids are passing and passing advanced.  The parents opting out will accomplish nothing because the SOL study blocks are likely mandated due to low test scores. And the County will know that there was an increase in parents opting out and the normal scores for those kids and it won't influence a darn thing. The average test score is less important then the average number of kids who pass. The school will be fine if the study blocks lead to a higher pass rate from the kids that take the test. [/quote]

A lower percentage of the kids taking the test will pass. Anyone who think extra time on math counts is going to help those kids pass doesn't have experience with high farms rate schools [/quote]
