[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why but my point seems to be falling flat here.

Yes, the parents will pick up the slack. Yes, they will send materials, money or supplement. My school's attitude is always to push to the parents. A kid needs speech. Tell the parents and they'll get a private eval and services. A kid has ADHD issues possibly? No, we don't do Kid Watch if a kid is going well and meeting standards. Mom and Dad will step in.

When I worked in a Title I school, we were all about getting the kids the supports they needed. Now, it's the opposite.

And the kids doing well? Needing extensions? Well... (to semi-out myself) that's the whole AAP push. If you want that service, you better qualify. Otherwise, it's more of the same.

I love teaching. I love working less and getting outstanding reviews. But there is a part of me that thinks we are doing everything wrong. [/quote]
