Not My Favorite School Day
So, we've been doing Social Studies remediation so that the kids that didn't pass the Social Studies SOL might pass on the retake. Out of our group of 10 only 2 passed. I felt really bad because those kids worked really hard and some of them REALLY knew their stuff. I can't help but think that the people who write those SOL tests are purposely wording things to make it difficult. Another English teacher went with me to tell them whether they passed or failed - it was one of the hardest things we've done in a while. Overall only 26% of the kids who retook the test passed.

Julie, look I do like to read your blog (0: Just read this post and it broke my heart I can only imagine how discouraging that we be for the students. I am thankful that they have a teacher like you who is compassionate and cares for them. Love, Katie
