DP with example from last year (4th grade) I've shared in the past.  We are in western FCPS.  I had a parent teacher conference with my gen ed kid's teacher in late, late January.  Teacher admitted to me what my kid had told me: she had not met with his reading group since December.  She had them working independently because it takes so much time to get the other groups back on track especially after breaks and snow days.  She is a good, seasoned teacher stretched too thin.  Part of the issue is that Teachers are pulled into so many dang meetings (for IEPs, work sessions, etc.) that suck time away during the school day.  The issue isn't always bad teachers.  It is the system.

DP from Western Fairfax: We had a similar experience where I asked my child if the teacher was meeting with him or in a group for LA and the answer was no. I noticed the same writing mistakes in his stories. He said the teacher was busy working with the other kids. I went in to volunteer to find many children who were just beginning to read and write. (This was 2nd grade.) We ended up referring and my child got in. Much better experience in AAP. Surrounded by kids who read similar books, etc., involved parents. Also, the kids would be encouraged take an assignment to the next level. [/quote]
