[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then what happens when your student is put in special ed setting but starts to fall behind due to slower pacing. Are you okay with that? When is that time going to be made up?[/quote]

PP suggested increased funding and resources for higher-need classrooms. Smaller class sizes, more tutoring, summer school, etc.

But the fact remains, slow forward progress is better than no progress at all. It certainly beats sitting in a classroom and having to move on to the next topic despite not understanding the material that’s already been presented.[/quote]

Increased funding and resources from where? [/quote]

Indeed.  APS and Arlington County encourage the increasing influx of English learners and other very high need students with no ceiling, barely checking on residency twice in 12 years, but at some point the system is too strained to function. APS says it’s totally fine, but it’s obviously not if they don’t have money to fix the buildings etc. etc. [/quote]

Residency is verified in kindergarten, 6th grade, and 9th grade.[/quote]

It’s K, 5th, 8th.  
And it’s not nearly often enough considering the 30K per student per year spend.[/quote]
