[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sycophants on here for APS never fail to disappoint.

To the OP, I’m sorry you’ve gone through this and our extremely well funded school district has completely let you down to presumably hide their own shortcomings (why else have this policy).[/quote]

OP's story is BS. If she and her team of doctors were waiting on the results of the SOL to determine next steps to address her kid's LDs then they were doing it wrong.

Seriously?   What are you talking about?  I am OP.  No way was I “waiting” with my “team of doctors” on the SOL results.  First off, I don’t have a team of doctors.  I hired one private doctor.  And am talking to educational consultants and former teachers.  I did so BECAUSE OF MY CHILDS SOLS RESULTS which I leaned about two weeks ago.  I can tell you only that SOL results were the straw that broke the camels back in our decision to pursue identifying whether the child has an LD.  It’s an expensive process. S/he may not; I hope they don’t.  But certainly the fact of the failures and margin on failures were relevant to our decision. This information was withheld from us by APS, and we would have taken action earlier had we known about the results.  They were inconsistent with teacher feedback but not necessarily every test result.  Sometimes it’s not a 100% clear picture for parents which is why passing information along is really really important—especially where a teacher doesn’t communicate.  But putting aside the LD which everyone is focused on, the learning loss over the summer is the true crime here.  What about tutoring funds we did not access?  What summer school we did not pursue?  What about turors we did not privately hire?   I am so pissed. [/quote]

You were mostly concerned about summer learning loss? You had the school calendar. Why would you need the SOL results to understand the summer schedule?

I became VERY concerned about summer loss when it became  crystal clear via the SOL that the teacher has not taught my child anything.  The teacher gave very positive feedback.  The prior test results were inconsistent.  The SOL made apparent that my child needed help.  [/quote]
