[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the directive that schools should develop personalized plans for every student who is not on grade level? On the surface, this seems like a good idea - even if it adds a paperwork and administrative burden. But it seems to be a little more than a regular report card, requiring that there are quarterly goals that each student who is falling behind must work toward. Tell me what is wrong with this proposal? I don’t agree with a lot of what Youngkin has done but not every idea from his admin can be automatically bad.[/quote]

I hadn't heard of this proposal, but what you are describing sounds like an IEP.[/quote]

It sounds like an IEP but probably would not have the full force and effect of an IEP - probably does not come with the rights, protections and process that is associated with the development of IEPs. But, if parents are provided with specific information about what areas of math, language arts, etc. a student is struggling with and specific goals and objectives to aim for, it might ensure a school is putting in place interventions and it might also spur a parent to put into place a tutor or carve out time to self-tutor. Of course a lot of parents do not have the time or resources but some do and if that leads to a few more students getting to grade level, then that is a win-win (schools can focus on helping students who don't have families with the time or resources) and families with the time or resources had the opportunity to address a learning gap early.[/quote]
