[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that everything in these resolutions would greatly improve the situation.

I have a child with a learning disability. She is very talented in some subjects and struggles in other others. Its been difficult this year since all of sudden her assessment is basically equal across all areas. There is no differentiation and I'm lucky that we have good insurance so we can afford neuro-psych testing. She needs to start learning techniques that help her handle the disability and not wait until she fails. I worry about other kids that have to rely solely on the school system. A large part of whether a child is identified for help is their assessment progress. All "P"s with no separation, nuance and only one required teacher conference a year will let some kids fall through the cracks. [/quote]

My child also has a learning issue but she is "in-progress" in the areas we are concerned about yet the comment/feedback of class performance and work competion makes you wonder at what point will we know it isn't going well ... 4th quarter?  I also imagine she is less motivated because it isn't obvious if she isn't doing well unless she is really behind.

Anyway, I feel like the parent that doesn't know if their kid will walk for graduation right up to the day of the ceremony. If I had something like she is getting 80%, I could tell more easily if she is improving, I could look at the 20% and make sure fundamentals aren't being missed.  With in-progress right up until the end, I worry we won't know there is a problem until it is too late.[/quote]
