[quote=Anonymous]Yes they care. If a certain percentage of kids fail they get extra scrutiny and they hate it. However, are you white, a native English speaker, and not economically disadvantaged? If so, chances are that if the school is at risk of having too many kids fail, your kid isn’t in the group they are going to have to worry about (quality indicators like SOL pass rates are separated by subgroup). Enough white english-speaking economically stable kids pass so they don’t worry about that group. Schools care but they triage their interventions. If you feel like your kid isn’t getting the support they need you probably need to seek outside help. And if you haven’t already, you should consider looking into learning disabilities. Schools do often have good supports for dyslexic kids and the special ed population is a sub group the district and state judges schools by so that group might get more attention. [/quote]
