[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many thanks for your responses! To clarify, “cognitive minutes” are basically resource room minutes for reading and math support.

[b]The girl’s parents are not in a position to get her private services outside school and are not savvy about the system and advocating for their daughter. I feel like she is being “swept under the rug” because she is not a behavior problem. [/b]

I will attempt again to push for more service minutes. After seeing what some other kids get, she is not getting enough resource room time or speech services. I am going to frame it as what does she need now to learn now because she is not making progress with the current level of support![/quote]

Very perceptive and yes, that’s likely exactly what is happening. She isn’t learning but no one cares because she isn’t acting up (yet?) Then all of a sudden in 3rd/4th grade when the academics kick up a notch, they’ll have an 8 year old who can’t read. Keep advocating for her! You’re a great teacher![/quote]
