[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP whose DC failed math SOL with 379.

I decided not do a retake test.  DC anxious the first time around and came home in distraught and convinced of failure.  I can't in good conscience put DC through the stress again.

Feel like when the SOL reflects on the teacher and school at large, all of a sudden, DC needs immediate remedial attention and pull out instruction.  Where was this concern mid-year?  I figure DC will be re evaluated next school year anyway and appropriate placement made then.  If failing the math sol means that DC is flagged for extra help or a stepped down math group, great.[/quote]

How did you find out your DC's score?  I'm pretty sure my DC failed it too, and like you, I would have so appreciated mid-year help when it mattered, rather than this frantic SOL cram session at the end of the year which has zero benefit for my child.  [/quote]

Yes, it has zero benefit for your child. But Pearson is being paid for every retake, and the district has the opportunity to raise its pass rates. See how everyone benefits from this but the child?[/quote]
