[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here.  The teacher also doesn't need your permission to tell the child that they failed an SOL.  [/quote]

Sure. When I called the school after it happened it seems that they disagree with you. [/quote]

Different poster here.

Students are pulled into small groups for remediation all the time. We have remediation/enrichment blocks for this. Some students might meet for a short amount of time, others a little longer. The groups change quite often too. During the block of time we have students go between classrooms and we "tackle" groups that way. During language arts or math I pull small groups for reteaching (aka remediation). We do the same thing prior to an SOL retake. The students don't "stand out' because students do this frequently. Nobody needs to give permission.[/quote]
This was our experience as well.  Our kid has not yet passed a reading SOL (special needs; issues with school; pulling DC to go to private next year because of it) and, last year, did remediation and retake.  The kids have so many pull-outs for IEP/local AAP/ESOL/speech/etc. that they neither noticed nor cared.  We monitored our kid pretty closely last year to make sure that there was no talk of "failing" or the remediation kids being teased, but, to them, it was just another pull-out like pretty much everyone had.  Our DC does best in small groups, so the remediation was probably more helpful than classroom instruction.

Same DC didn't pass reading or social studies this year, and we refused remediation because we're not sending DC back to FCPS next year.  We can't risk DC falling even further behind.  We have a lot of issues with FCPS and our base school, but the SOL remediation was one of the things that they actually handled very well.[/quote]
