[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing is to decline the retake. No need to make her sit though all that again. [/quote]

Tell me more about this. It had not crossed my mind not to have it retake it because I was hoping she could get to the passing grade but is there really no benefit for her to do it?[/quote]

Don't do the retake- it does not benefit your child at all![/quote]

It does benefit a rising 7th grader to have a passing SOL score. There are previous posts about this. A failing SOL score typically causes a student to be placed in an extra support class during 7th grade. This means giving up an elective. [/quote]

So, failing is GOOD when the kids needs extra support. [/quote]

What do we know about these classes? Are they any good? Anyone have  :x experience with the one at Twain?[/quote]

the literacy class is terrible. Opt out of that and keep the elective the kids pick.[/quote]

That is not true, at most schools. I know where I teach, most kids make substantial gains from the literacy class, as seen in every metric - words correct per minute, core phonics, I-ready, SOL. And far, far fewer kids are coming to middle school as beginning decoders, thanks to OG in elementary, so “finishing up” OG in middle school has good long-term impact for high school. [/quote]

Who's getting OG in elementary school? Very, very few.[/quote]
