[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by allowing pre-k/k issues to go undetected?  do you mean the teachers don't let the parents know if there are issues?  [/quote]

Teachers or the counselor, no.

In the 3 boys cases our year, their issues were discussed end of 2nd grade/beginning of 3rd grade when it was too late.    [/quote]

Beauvoir has ALWAYS had extremely thorough & detailed narrative teacher evaluations. Not simply fill in the blank/check the boxes forms. I would be very surprised if these issues were not discussed in the earlier years... maybe not in the language of the student being a candidate for STA/NCS, but I find it hard to believe these issues just miraculously appeared out-of-the-blue at the end of the 2nd grade. The school probably only formally began to discuss the student's candidacy until late 2nd grade.

As a parent, no matter if your child is 2 of 7, if hear from child's teacher he or she is lagging or having trouble with socially, I would hope you would follow-up with the teacher and/or school as to how to resolve the issue and possibly with your pediatrician, and if these issue continues what this means in the long term.

Yes, I agree Beauvoir has detailed teacher evals.  One of the boys rejected from STA went on to another school where he was required to repeat 3rd grade.  If he was so academically deficient, can't understand why he slipped through the cracks at Beauvoir.  There is an excellent resource team in place there.  Can't understand why this one particular boy was promoted to the next grade if he wasn't academically ready.

If  a child is having continued behavioral issues that do not prove developmental the school should require that the parents take the child in for therapy.  Serious discussion of these boys behavior did not become an issue until end of 2nd grade/beg of 3rd grade when it was mentioned in greater detail on their narratives or discussed in parent-teacher conferences.[/quote]

Because when a school works so hard to project an exterior image of absolute perfection, it is very hard and a bit unseemly to have to deal with issues/ children/ people who are not regarded as such.[/quote]
