[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you saying, "My child has a language disability, therefore no child in public school should be expected to achieve anything better than what my child can achieve"?[/quote]

I'm the poster with the language-disabled child. What an ungracious witch you are. This isn't about holding precious Lulu back from her potential for greatness. It's to get the boot off the neck of my child with a disability.

Children with disabilities should be taken out of the grade level standards scheme. It's not workable for them. Instead, they should be measured by their progress. Whenever possible, they should be taught grade level material, be it accommodated or modified. IEPs can require this, but Common Core makes no allowances for IEPs or disabilities. It pretends that with a tweak or two, everyone will magically be on grade level if the teacher or student just discovers their "grit."

Additionally, our experience with IEPs is even though legally they are supposed to be followed, it requires constant monitoring by the parent to assure that they are followed, especially if that child is performing well on standardized testing. [/quote]
