[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are being way too demanding and with this list of demands you need an IEP. Or private. But you’re being treated as if you’re unreasonable because, you are. Public schools are not equipped to deal with kids who can’t help themselves at 10. Ask me how I know. You can keep barking up this tree and getting all pissy or you can just go ahead, get her evaluated and get a proper IEP or pursue private school. Kids who are 2E which she could be - honestly in MCPS being in aap seems totally irrelevant for most kids, as only the truly behind are not - need support if they can’t function in a typical classroom, obviously, but you need to go through the appropriate channels to get that just like everyone else.

Thanks for the feedback.

We had her tested. She has an established 504 and an IEP may be needed. The request was only for feedback. DH and I have taken full responsibility for her support. She is doing well in all other areas and always has except for this specific class. Which is why we’re trying to figure out what is happening in this specific class.

Some parents obsess over grades. That is not us and never will be us. We weren’t raised that way and we have seen the consequences in peers who were. Our children’s best will always be good enough. In this case we know she is capable, because we work with her.

It was new to us that it was no longer the norm to not contact parents if the child is struggling and not grasping concepts. Maybe for older students, but not at 9. The teacher is not expected to fix it. In what world would they have the bandwidth. We believe they do enough. However, providing insights into their observations, so that we can work with her on it— we initially thought would be mutually beneficial. Just trying to get a feel for other experiences.[/quote]
