[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to my [teacher] world. It’s all over LCPS also.[/quote]

FCPS teacher here. It's all over everywhere.

"Twice exceptional" often means that parents are not willing to admit that their child has limitations. Thus, they would rather 24 other kids sit in the hall just so that their kid stay in the AAP program.

They also have hopes that William & Mary and law school will be in the kid's future.

Reality says no.

Wow- and this is why we moved my 2e dyslexic kiddo into a private school for kids with dyslexia.  Her teacher’s lack of training and low expectations had caused her a clinical level of anxiety.  So at least once a week she would burst into tears at school because her teacher or classmates were taunting her for her poor spelling or reading.  She would go to the nurse to recover because we couldn’t get an IEP for her dyslexia because her grades were too high.  They wouldn’t even evaluate her for learning disabilities. The teacher told us she must be emotionally disabled to cry so often.

Now she is reading above grade level and planning to go to law school.  With her grades and test scores I have no doubt she will be very successful.

We were fortunate we could afford the education our child needed.  But what happens to the other kids who aren’t getting the supports they need.  These stories make me ill because that could have been our child if we hadn’t pursued private evaluations and services.

And we did have to choose between suing the school or paying for services as most parents do.  So nobody is holding the administrators accountable.[/quote]
