[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]

It’s more that, with the way special education works, you CANNOT receive extra support until we’ve collected data that shows there is negative academic impact. A student cannot get an IEP without that, and additional services such as reading intervention aren’t justifiable when a kid is reading on grade level and passing SOLs, even with “only” a 400. There must be a persistent pattern of a student not achieving grade level progress for additional support to be able to be provided. There aren’t endless resources to be putting kids who get “just” a 410 on the reading SOLs into reading intervention or giving them IEPs. [/quote]
