[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FERPA gives a parent the right to review any educational record for a child. Even assessments. The teacher (or Central Office) can write new tests if they have any concerns about the questions being public.[/quote]

Not quite all assessing. They can also just ask, and view in person but not take pictures or make a copy. Just ask the teacher, but by HS I’m wondering without special needs, why are the parents so involved?[/quote]

My child’s school doesn’t want me to come in person. They say it’s because of COVID. My child does have multiple disabilities and even IEP meetings are still online.

There is a serious breakdown in the educational process if work is kept under lock and key at school. Just send the work home with the student then parents won’t have to bother the teacher with an email or meeting. For my child, using coping strategies during tests (or any high anxiety situation) is a life skill. Seeing the types of mistakes is key in helping my child learn how to learn. It’s more than learning just the general education curriculum. We are supplementing with at home support to make up from the lack of special education services. The regular data points though would help guide the focus of private services.

Why are teachers reluctant to send work and assessments home with students anyway? Aren’t they tools for every child to learn from the feedback?  Gaps are not being filled in at school so give parents some guidance on what needs to be worked on at home. We understand resources are limited even if a child’s services are supposed to be determined by his needs. Work with families instead of building walls for access so the child can make progress and learn.[/quote]
