[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all those that rely on testing to determine a student's capability, this isn't a good idea for those that don't test well. You won't know that they don't test well unless you pull their file. My child's IEP doesn't say he doesn't well because the school thinks that being mediocre (just passing) at testing or anything is acceptable. I also ask that the specials teachers read my child's file/IEP as well. DS has mild CP and ADHD and you won't notice it straight away. You might just think that he's really clumsy and just not listening. So, reading the file and the IEP give you a better picture. I know that teachers are busy, but I would think that this would be rather important and might just make your life easier in the long run.[/quote]

Pretty sure that any teacher will read an IEP--that's a little different than reading the files of all the children.  An IEP is supposed to be followed and the teacher should certainly be familiar with it.

As a teacher, I read the files of all the kids, but you have to be careful not to let them influence you too much.

And, to the PP who said that the prior teacher would talk to the next teacher about the "most notable" kids--believe me--if you have already been in the school, you are well aware of the "most notable" kids.
