[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's being overlooked. The class is too big and the teacher is too preoccupied with a host of other things.

Kinderg was a dumpster fire for him last year, right? - 100% online? No 5 yr old can learn effectively that way not to mention grasp basic reading fundamentals (dies he even know what sound the letter "t" makes? Mine didn't).

So it's not uncommon for 1st graders to be seemingly behind. And not all parents are as vested at home with reading to their kids daily. So, take heart Op, you're on the right track, but that final link between letters/sounds/word (and reading comprehension, but focus on that later, get sight words under control) is always tough.[/quote]

If your kid doesn't know the names and sounds of the letters, why are you complaining? That's pretty basic stuff. Teach that at home.[/quote]

^^Isn't that what school is for ??^^^

Why is there a burden on "home" to teach? Sure, I'm fine with reading bedtime stories and helping with homework, but I'm not "teaching at home" like you are ordering me to do. I dont have a teaching degree so i lack the technique, resources, time, and effort. And I shouldn't have to "teach" my kid or pay extra for tutoring, or printout worksheets to supplement. FCPS should be doing that.
It's a common scenario for a lot of households.[/quote]

What fairyland do you live in? You think one teacher and 24 kids is a scenario where every kid learn exactly the same? I’m doing All about reading curriculum with my kindergartener right now because after all this time in school he was not able to read a single word. And he’s got 3 teachers in his class!! I’m not letting him to fall behind because “school is supposed to to that, not me”. You don’t need a teaching degree to teach your kid to read, write and basic math. Nobody is asking you to teach organic chemistry here… Bottom line, it’s my kid, my responsibility, I want him to succeed, I’m going to teach him if I see he needs extra help. Done[/quote]

What fcps ES has 3 teachers in a 1st grade class?? That is not the norm. 
Even the kindergarten classes are capped at 2 teachers per class.[/quote]

DP, but push ins for behavior or special needs are hardly rare, at least at our school.[/quote]
