[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS has dyslexia. The schools were unable to provide appropriate instruction to teach him to read. If it were left up the school system, he would be illiterate as a high school junior.

The appropriate instruction isn’t a hidden secret. It’s readily available.[/quote]

Same. And they fail to do the simple things like extra time for a test. FCPS fails in every aspect of special education. We just pay for tutoring and count down until we are done with the school system[/quote]

And basic writing skills.  Don’t forget that.  FCPS does a terrible job with writing instruction across the board.  My HS student didn’t learn the basics until we put him in private school.  It was a night and day difference.

They also failed with clear expectations and consequences, which is much more important with my kid with SN than my kid who is NT who is still in FCPS.  Teachers and admin let a lot slide behaviorally on things they should not have (kids openly leaving during lunch, coming 10 min late to class or skipping) but then came down hard on small things.  This created constant behavior problems.  [/quote]
