[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The first thing that we want these efforts to accomplish is to alert parents that there’s a problem. A very simple, culturally competent, easy to understand sheet of paper that says your child has a problem,” said Black and Brown Coalition Co-Founder Diego Uriburu."

I don't think this person understands the problem.

Parents who don't care about their children being able to read aren't interested in a "culturally competent" lecture about it from the school. [/quote]

No, they understand the problem and are proposing a document to help alleviate.  The problem is that parents don’t clearly understand how their kids are doing because there is conflicting information.  Grades saying A or B, and Dibels saying not on level but teachers saying everything is fine.  This goes on for awhile and then suddenly kids need intervention.

It’s the same problem that is seen across students grades vs district assessments vs external assessments.  [/quote]

You think a parent who doesn't know their own kid whinthry live with can't read, never reads with their kid and uses YouTube as childcare gives a hoot about a Dibels?

This isn't about your AuDHD dyslexic child who gets weekly private therapy.
It's about the 50% of students who don't live in a family and community culture where literacy matters. [/quote]

The question is do you think kids who have parents that aren't fully literate (in their own languages) deserve to learn to read? It sounds like you don't.[/quote]

It’s not whether they deserve to read its honest dialogue about if the importance of reading will then be reinforced at home.  Or that if a kid is struggling and getting intervention f they will have support at home for reinforcing lessons and helping with learning skills.[/quote]
