[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lost 9 weeks due to this failure to notify almost entirely over the summer when the child was continuing the “summer slide” to 1) begin the process of diagnosing a
Learning Disability, which could take months, and, 2) we did not set up tutoring because we were not advised by the teacher/school that the need was there.  I get that the teacher should have given us some information and I fault this particular teacher but had APS given us the score we would have realized how bad things might be.  So rather than enter the new elementary year having worked over the summer, child did not meet standards over last year and fell further behind over the summer.  The failure to notify us was truly harmful to our child.[/quote]

“9 weeks”? Did your kid fail the math SOL?

No one should be using the SOL as a diagnostic criteria for LDs.

Your kid has received multiple assessments throughout the year that would have raised concerns. If you ignored all of that and were waiting on the SOL (which isn’t even helpful to diagnose LDs) then that’s on you.

Seems like people are just looking for things to complain about. [/quote]

I am.  Don’t worry.  They know nothing about the data/my child.  We do understand that SOLs aren’t diagnostic tools.  We also understand that they are  data  point.  One that APS hides from parents for months for no good reason as far as I can tell.

I can articulate the harm to my child.

What is the justification for the delay? [/quote]

Any harm to your child comes from you wasting time focusing on the wrong issues.

Ok, I'll bite, what wrong issues? [/quote]
