[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread veered from the allegedly unmet needs of people’s SpEd students to the allegedly unmet needs of people’s gifted students 🤦‍♀️. I feel sorry for our school community that we cant see past the end of our own noses. Is everyone just going to complete the principal survey with a laundry list of what their particular child supposedly needs?[/quote]

Kids mandated by law to have their needs met (SOL requirements etc for accreditation), and kids with IEP or squeaky wheel parents are the only ones that will get any attention from the teachers and principal.  Thats the reality of our overcrowded and overtaxed school; if you aren't advocating for your student, they will coast along without anyone checking in on them.

If you are a wealthy family, and do a bunch of travel sports and know the career path for your child doesn't need strong academics, its a great fit as they can put the time into their sport and thrive there.  Thats the mainstream APS parent.  Parents who truly valued academics left for FFX or maybe private long ago.  [/quote]
