It's SOL Time


They are here and you may soon be taking one of them. That's right, I am talking about SOL tests. They are among the most stressful things going on at WHS later this week and next. Does it seem that everyone is talking about them?


Teachers stress over them. Parents stress over them. Students probably stress over them, also. Are they causing you a lot of stress? What do you think of them? If you could, would you change them and how? Please tell us what you think of them and if you would make any changes to the format.   Remember to give us at least three sentences.

Also, I recommend that you not try this!

The video was funny. Hes good to of thought of that right there. And it's better than failing the class.

I thought the video was funny. I don't usually stress over the SOL's. But i wish the math SOL was on paper instead of computer.
I haven't failed an SOL yet, and i don't plan on it anytime soon.

The only SOL I ever stress over are the math SOLs. Personally I think SOLs are pointless. IF you're passing the class you shouldn't have to take the SOL. We should just get rid of them all together.

I think that is so funny. I would have done the same thing. He should have all the time he pleases.

I thought this video was funny. It was funny how he just put the paper under the pile. I would be mad if I had failed the test because I was late.

Alexis Sinclair said...

I don't normally stress over any SOL'S, except maybe Math, because it's my weak point. I think how they issue them on computers now is kind of stupid, especially in the math area because you arent able to work the problem next to the question. That way, someone could get it wrong easily.

I think that this person was not trying his best on the SOL test that he was taking. All this guy wanted to do was to stratch a card to see want the numbers are. SOL are a waste of time and I think that teachers should not gives of one at the end of the year.

The video was funny. He had a good thought. The only thing i would change is the fact that you can fail the class if you fail the SOL test, after you've worked hard in that class all year.It doesn't make any since.

SOLs only test you on what you already know and remember. You shouldn't have to take an SOL if you know the material well and passing the class. SOLs are a waste of time.

Heather Puckett said...

In my own personal opinion SOL's are very stressful period, because along with your other grades they will pass or fail you. On another note I stress out so much that it stresses my mother out. Anyway I would not know how to change the SOL nor would I probably change it.

Kaylee said...

I normally never stress over SOLs. But if I could change anything about SOLs, it would be to take the math SOL on paper. I don't have a problem with math, it's my best subject, but I feel more comfortable taking it on paper.

The sol is a stressful test but its good. the video was funny. I would do the same thing

I am not stresing over the SOL's. I think I will do a good job on them. Even though I also think they are a waist of time. Its stupid because if you fail the class ther's a possiblity of failing the class.

I really did't get the video. What was so funny about it any way? I just won't get it no matter what.

Ethan said...

I don't stress over SOLs, but if I did have to worry about one it would be Latin, I'm not the best at Latin. I don't really think that they need to change the SOL and I don't see why people think it's the end of the world when they have to take it. It's just like any other test, only graded for more.

This video was some type of funny. Though, I do not stress over SOLs, I'm worried about my algebra.

Amber said...

I stress terrible over SOLs. This year Im most worried about my Honor Algebra II SOL. I thought the guy in the video was pretty smart and a quick thinker to do that.

Kayla Barnes said...

I thought it was smart what he did. Because since the teacher doesn't know who he is he doesn't know which one of the papers to fail. Overall I liked the video it was funny.

I think that were tested way to much in school. I'm stressing over my Earth Science SOL the most. I liked this video, it was pretty funny.

Alyssa said...

I think we are tested way to much. We are constantly having tests and quizs to take. We shouldn't so we can spend more time learning all the material well.

McKenzie Patrick said...

I don't have to take any SOLs because I'm a senior! It's a huge relief. To all the underclassmen who still have to take them, sucks to suck.

Kelsey said...

I don't stress over SOLs. The only one i've stressed about is science and probably biology this year. But other then that I don't stress over them.

I normally do not stress over SOL’s but this year has been changeling so I am a little worried. To me the SOL’s are pointless because you know the material if you are passing the class. This video is very funny but wouldn’t work in a High School.

I like how the kid just got away with gambling and theft right in front of the teacher. But other than that it was an okay video. I dont really flip out around test time but my parents and my teachers do.

We test to much, it's ridiculous. Our brains are worn out because of all of this. It'll be more helpful if we just spend time learning the material minus the quiz and tests. (:

The video was pretty funny. I dont really actually stress upon SOL but I do over-think a lot. I would changed Math on paper instead of computer.

Miranda said...

This your im stressing because I a terrible teacher and didn't learn much not I'm trying to get it. But I'm passing the class I agree with Jasmine SOLs are pointless and a waste of time. The video was pretty funny.

Kevante said...

I'm a little stressed about this year's SOL. Usually everything comes easy without effort, but this year I slacked. I plan on studying hard an doing all my final exams to boost my grades.

Jacob Watson said...

SOLs are stressful and a waste of time. I believe we are tested too much and that could cause kids to feel insecure and anxious from all the pressure. It's one thing to be tested a couple of times, but 10 times and SOLs being one of the most complicated, and most grade consuming, could hurt many people's GPA and also how they feel about themselves.

Chris Funai said...

SOLs are stressful and get all the students frustrated. Sometimes they hurt kids GPA. I just work hard and do what im suppose to do.
