[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is Northern Virginia!  We must have perfection in everything we do.  And if little Johnny or Suzzie can't do it themselves, I fully expect you as the parent to do the project or homework for them!  Therefore, if you kid is getting 2's they must be flawed in some way.
Stupid is as stupid does!   :lol:

Seriously.  This is elementary school we are talking about.  Relax![/quote]

This is such a weird perspective--2s mean they need support--so you get support.  It has nothing to do with flaws. Why even have an education in the first place if you don't care about providing appropriate support for learning?  The skill gap that a 2 in elementary school tells you is easily supported, if you wait for middle school they may have years of struggling to make up.  [/quote]

NP.  Agree with first PP.  At least one poster on this thread has said that a 2 means that your kid has ADHD.

That's nuts.  Our schools have gone wrong somehow.  I don't blame teachers, I think NCLB and other factors are more to blame.  But something has gone off track and our schools are not doing right by our children.  [/quote]

I'm the PP who talked about 2s and ADHD.  I said consistent 2s in behavioral areas are A WAY a teacher can POTENTIALLY SIGNAL that you might want to screen your child for ADHD.  It's a way to communicate their professional judgment about your child without attempting to diagnose.  If you share their concerns, you then go to the doctor and do a formal screening.  I didn't say a 2 = ADHD rather that a pattern of 2s are indicative of needing support--and can be a signal to go for screening.  It was accurate in our case. [/quote]
