SOLs in April put pressure on students and teachers.
SOLs this month affect students’ and teachers’ emotions.
“I feel scared because I’m unprepared,” Mykaela Logan, sophomore, said.
“I am confused on why they are so early,” Elena Eichinger, sophomore, said. “I don’t think we should get out of school early; there will still be exams and things that need to be finished, and I would still like to see my significant other.”
“It’s causing me to have to rush through most of the information,” Zackary Williams, science teacher, said.
Students think SOLs in April should cause the system to let us out of school early.
“I do think we should be able to get out of school early because I would have passed all my classes so there really is no point of me coming to school for the month of May,” Mykaela, said.
“I think we should get out of school early because I will have nothing do [at school],” Calley Moser, freshman, said.
Students and teachers now have to rush and prepare for SOLs that are often in May.
“I will prepare by going over my notes and studying all the study guides I have for each class,” Moser said.
“I will prepare by studying notes and other things I was given to pass my SOLs,” McKinley Bergeron, freshman, said.
“I am going to prepare my students by covering material, and the material will be adjusted to prioritize the most impactful content,” Williams said. “We will preview materials and focus on managing the remaining time as best as possible.”
