[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is graduating this year. We could not afford tutoring during the school closings and both parents work outside the house the entire pandemic so could not ‘homeschool’ our high schooler with learning disabilities.

We will get nothing and he is graduating without being able to string together 3 coherent written paragraphs or read a full book and on medication for depression that began during the pandemic.

He needed to be in school.

How did you prepare for the OCR meeting?  Did you bring this data?  Did you ask for anything?  What was their response?

Parents really need to stop being victims and throwing up their hands.  [/quote]

Bring what data? You think the school cares he didn’t learn anything? They’re passing him. They constantly say he’s doing great.

What am I supposed to ask for? We couldn’t afford a tutor. There are no receipts. Will they pay for his medical care? It took months to even get an appt with a doctor and he refused any sort of online teletherapy. He had it with ‘zoom’.

It’s the school system that threw up their hands. Do not turn this around and accuse parents of innocent kids of crying victim for being caught up in the bureaucratic politics of adults that were in charge.

This is the victim mentality again. So what were his goals? Did he meet them? Do you disagree with their data about his growth? If so, why? What are your own observations? Etc, etc…it sounds more like you are throwing up your hands.[/quote]

You sound like you haven’t had this school system fight you every step of the way for the past 13 years. You sound like you haven’t had sleepless nights wondering if you’re going crazy. The school saying one thing and you witnessing another. You sound like you’ve had resources and support that not everyone has had.

Yes this is me throwing up my hands because let’s be real. He is graduating and they are done with him. I can disagree with their ‘goals’. Then what? Do you not think they’ve discounted my own observations all these years. I from K-4th I kept telling them he couldn’t read. They said, no he was fine and yes I scraped together money for outside testing. But since he wasn’t failing, they said nothing more than a 504. He didn’t get an IEP until he fails his first reading SOL. This was years after I started the process when he was in K.

They’re not going to compensate for non monetary damage. And I don’t have the money to hire lawyers to force them to.

I failed my son. I should have found a way to move out of this school system long ago.

FCPS failed at their job. Their job is to educate all children. If I performed this poorly at work I would have been fired right at the start.
