[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a child failed to pass the first time around, what makes you think repeating the grade - and method of instruction - again would yield different results?  If a child isn't able to learn it the first time, they need to be evaluated for LDs and, if qualified, get an IEP.  Not addressing learning issues early harms everyone.  I've got 2 kids in FCPS and I've seen all too often how willing the school system is to pass the kid to the next level.  If we hadn't agitated so much and paid for tutoring, our kids would have been in high school but only capable of elementary level work.  Yes, it's expensive to target the elementary kids but not as expensive as it is for high school students and the societal cost when they're adults but not adequately educated.  [/quote]

If a kid has a bad attitude, doesn't pay attention in class, doesn't do their homework and skips lots of school then I certainly don't think an IEP is warranted.  Parenting is needed more than anything.  And if the kid flunks, and had to repeat a grade, but the parent(s) didn't give a shit then I honestly don't think there's much at all that can be done for that kid.  Sorry, but honest truth.  Youth and schooling squandered.[/quote]
