At least with the old paper/pencil test you could sit in a room and review the tests each year (at least the first few years), but it seems that actual released tests are hard to come by and no one has a chance to really look them over to evaluate them. I guess we should just learn to trust the DOE and Pearson to know what's best for us. <br /><br />The sad thing is that our SOLs and even the testing could be (and has been in some ways) a positive thing for education if kept in the proper perspective. Unfortunately they have become the primary driver not just for Standards based courses, but for the entire education system in Virginia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445182336292537663.post-12164559371070380662012-03-21T21:14:02.202-04:002012-03-21T21:14:02.202-04:00With all the talk about transparency, admittedly t...With all the talk about transparency, admittedly there is not much of this with SOLs.
