This.

Or they just want to present the best front possible and they don't really care about fixing anything.

OP, I completely get where you're coming from.  I have a kid with SNs and I know parents who lie to their kid's teachers, therapists, developmental pediatricians, etc.  They know on some level what the truth is, but they want their kid to doing better than they are.  They can't face the truth.  It's rather sad.[/quote]

Most of the SN parents i know are well aware of their kids needs and concerns and don't say they are doing better as then the kids don't get the supports or help they need.  I know exactly my kids strengths and what they need to work on.  Our develop. ped does not want to talk to anyone, including parents in his assessment.  We talk regularly to our one therapist and work together to create and meet goals.  I gave up talking to the teachers as they underestimate my child and act surprised when he does and knows far more than they give him credit for.  I just sit back and say, yes, thank you.  I know, I tried to tell you.[/quote]
