[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, they won’t let her repeat. Does she have an iep?[/quote]

No she does not have an IEP. Never has been mentioned to us by her teacher.

From a school's perspective, given DL and all the chaos anyway, I don't see why they would turn down our request.

As someone mentioned above, this year would be the perfect time to hold her back and put her in the correct grade next year. Regardless of the diagnosis, I am not seeing any benefit in keeping her on the current (advanced 1 year track) track ESP given the speech/word retrieval issue. My thought is that parents will need to substitute/assist at home with DL anyway. [b]We would substitute with 3rd grade level work so that she is not bored[/b]. [/quote]

That’s great that she wouldn’t be bored this year. What’s your plan for next year when she’s repeating everything you did at home in class???

Your plan is very short sighted. [/quote]

I'm not sure how its short sighted. Similar to how we're supplementing at home now, we would continue doing it for 4th, 5th and so on. Someone said before and I think they were spot on, we were incorrectly (due to her natural interest) predominantly supplementing with math work (she enjoyed it, we were math majors etc). Now in hindsight, that has caused her language arts development to suffer. She is by no means failing LA.. just takes a longer time to ask questions.. lots of "um, ah, like" or sometimes gives a long drawn answer to a very straightforward question (which we noticed during DL). Distance learning, honestly has been an eye opening experience for us. Made us think so much harder about this when we noticed her vs her peers in the virtual setting. [/quote]
