The Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL's) are ruining the future of our students. As parents, administrators, educators, and former students who have seen its impact, we sign this petition in protest of the current educational system in Virginia and demand change. We are a group of persons with diverse political views and experiences that can all agree that SOL's need to go.
We urge our government officials to enact legislation to make this change happen. We have seen that the increased pressure of the SOL's and the demands on schools to succeed only hurt the student.
Learning is not a product. It is a process. It is a process that cannot reach it's fullest potential in creating critical and creative thinkers with our current Standards of Learning.
We demand that Standards of Learning be removed and that educators, parents, administrators, and students are consulted on how to improve our educational system--not lobbyists, test-creators, or other officials with little classroom experience.
