[quote=Anonymous][quote]So again.. how do you suppose MCPS can force parents to test their children for LD, assuming that it's free? [/quote] You don't have a kid with a learning disability do you? I do and I have been a teacher. MCPS avoids testing at all costs and usually only does it when forced by the parent. MCPS tests are often biased which is why parents will seek out reputable outside testing at universities. Poor kids can't afford this but they seldom get tested in the first place. Part of this is inappropriate bias as the school admin and teacher assumes that the URM kid is just a poor students due to poverty. Part of this is intentional which is even worse. A 504 or IEP means more work for the school and the schools are loath to put any more kids than they are forced to on them. Low income kids get the short end of the stick. [/quote]
