[quote=Anonymous]My kid failed an assessment (not SOL) in 3rd grade and nobody took it very seriously. They told us to read to him at home (as if we hadn’t been doing that). I know it feels outrageous that they didn’t inform you sooner (and yes, it’s outrageous!), but this is probably a great introduction to how seriously APS will take the problem if you don’t advocate aggressively for your kid. It seems like they should care more, and some teachers will, but the reality is APS’s resources are spread very thin and if you leave it to them, they may tell you to just wait and see if your kid does better. And in the meantime, another critical year of early intervention has passed you by. It’s all about early intervention and educators know that. You as a parent know that. APS knows that, but will take you on a long drawn out journey of meaningless semi-interventions if you let them drag their feet. If you suspect a learning disability and can afford it, get your own private testing and insist on starting the IEP process without delay.[/quote]
