[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you know?  That is completely confidential.  Someone really needs to mind her own beeswax.  And if your special snowflake is being held back by the unwashed masses, go to private school.  You'll fit right in there.[/quote]

Snippy, snippy.  You've got a lot of hate and anger going on... maybe you should calm down.

It's a fact that the teacher spends more time with the kids who are behind.  Those who are on target or ahead get less time.

I made no comments about the "unwashed masses" --- that's your issues coming up.

And no, it's not "confidential" which kids are getting attention from the special ed resources, ESOL or other resources.   The teacher would not have me, an average parent, work with a child who needed special teaching strategies.

The issue on this thread is whether the new report cards are good.  I'm not a fan as of yet.  Maybe they will turn out great.  I'm pleased with any additional communication that helps parents know where their child is at and gives them a true picture so that they can get involved or help the child as necessary so that every child is meeting grade expectations and fulfilling their potential.

As much as you might like to think so, you have no idea which kids have learning disabilities and which ones don't.  Not all of them get pull out or other services or are even identified in the early elementary years.  The in-class resource teachers work with all kids, not just those with LD or IEPs.  LD kids don't require special in-class teaching strategies, the strategies that work with LD kids work as well with 'normal' kids, in fact, they're often called 'best practices'.

You also need to revise your expectation of the schools.  They're goal is not to help every child meet their potential, it's to provide them with an appropriate education.  If you want your child to meet her full potential, you should go private.  [/quote]
