[quote=Anonymous]Also your expectations of what level of instruction can be expected to be taught in public schools is unrealistically high.  Public schools are simply not designed or equipped to instruct students in highly complex higher order cognitive skills such as time management or organization.  Public schools for the most part to the extent they can teach anything, teach rote learning of basic subject matter areas and mechanical tasks.  The deficiencies you see in your child are not cognitive deficits.  They are a deficiency in learned skills which he never properly learned in schools for the very simple reason that the public schools don't teach them, except perhaps at the most simplistic behavioral  levels i.e. if.youre late for class or miss an assignment you get detention..

Most of the teachers in most public schools, even good ones, have no ability nor interest in teaching students these complex skills.  I guess they would rather spend the time on things like critical race theory or why gifted and talented programs should be defunded because they are inherently and systemically racist.

Teachers who automatically tell parents that the reason their child is underperforming MUST BE because there is something "wrong" with the student, and not what is being taught or with the classroom environment, are making excuses for their own deficiencies as educators and for the system overall.

It.kind of sounds like that may be the con job your school is.trying to pull on you.  Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.  You were fortunate to find at.keast.one teacher interested in actually helping your gifted and talented (not disabled) child achieve success given the inherently crappy nature of our public school system and most of its teachers.[/quote]
