[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Special Ed does not equal "Low".  Parents are not privy to the list of kids with IEPs. Kids are often grouped by needed interventions because Sped is always short staffed.  So, the kids who are pulled out for Math or LA may be in the same class, and then those who have an aid in GenEd may be grouped together.  Being in Sped has absolutely nothing to do with SOL scores and is due to a long-established IEP process.[/quote]

Yes it does. Sped usually means learning difficulties such that a regular classroom teacher can’t manage without a specialist. Kids who qualify for IEPs usually are below grade level in some area. That’s considered low. [b]Those kids are also at risk of failing the SOLs.[/b][/quote]

One of those failing kids is mine. Good grades in HS but he cannot pass a single SOL. That test format is just not for him, despite all the accommodations he gets. He is very stressed out about SOLs. He is terrified he won't graduate.[/quote]
