[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]How would not having the SOL's have made sure your child got the help they needed throughout the year? [/b]If they went away, how would your child benefit? My children have rarely even gotten a problem wrong, but I still think they are valuable to us to see if my kids have retained concepts throughout the year and thought they would be more valuable for a struggling student.[/quote]

Here is your answer from another post:

[quote][b]The teachers should be using their performance on homework, regular tests, etc. throughout the year to determine if extra help is needed.[/b] If a kid a is regularly performing well throughout the year and demonstrating an understanding of the subject, but then doesn't perform well on the SOL practices, my assumption is the issue is not a lack of mastering the subject.

If a student hasn't performed well throughout the year and hasn't demonstrated an understanding of the subject, cramming in remediation right before SOLs isn't going to have lasting impact. The student will likely retain the information just long enough to pass the test and not much else.[/quote][/quote]
