[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd investigate and get tutoring. Nothing to panic about, but this is something to work on. I'm a teacher. The early years are really important. Figure out where his weaknesses are and work on them, not just over the summer, keep going with tutoring throughout the school year too.[/quote] What can people do if they can't afford tutoring? $75-100/hour seems the norm around here and that's a lot of $$ over a year. If 2s on a report card are that concerning, shouldn't the child be offered summer school or other remediation? [/quote] When I had a kid who needed extra help, I worked with her myself at home. [/quote] I don’t really understand the 3’s to 2’s. As an APS elem teacher it doesn’t make sense. We were told to grade to the year end standard so unless there was a regression once a kid reaches a 3 they stay there unless something very concerning happens. I would be interested to know how this school was grading. There is no elementary APS summer school this year except for English learner newcomers or low-functioning special education students. What were your students’ end of year MAP score percentiles? [/quote] Just a bit shocked that any teacher would use the VERY out of date description "low-functioning special education students". I know this isn't how the rest of Arlington views students with disabilities. [/quote]
