[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for insight. I dare not to say anything as I am new here and school has only been in session for a month but it seems wrong on both sides. I was not sure if this is the norm though and wanted to gain others perspective.[/quote]

My kid is bright and NT.  He was put in a 9th grade science class where 2/3s of the kids were given extra time to take tests, and there was at least 1 parapro to structure assignments for a child with some severe issues.  That child watched TV on their phone a lot.  This cohort really affected my son's interest in the class.

Then this cohort rotated after fall semester to a new science subject and teacher.  But there was no parapro.  The teacher asked the students who were succeeding, including my son, to buddy with the others to help them.  I felt bad for the teacher and asked the principal what was happening.  The principal looked into it but there really wasn't staff available to improve matters.  She did say that it appeared the class was imbalanced terms of student abilities.  But in January, it's not possible to tear up schedules.

TL;DR maybe see if you can provide extra content to the 4 kids just by putting them in  reading or discussion group together.  Maybe with extra worksheets.  Anything that lets them work at their pace together.  Kind of like early elementary reading instruction.[/quote]
