[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]

Why are you apologizing for APS on this one? You seriously think it's A-Ok that they delay this long to notify of failure to meet standards? [/quote]

Should APS get the scores out sooner? Sure.

Is OP using it as some excuse for inaction over the summer? Sure sounds like it.

Both can be true. [/quote]

There is no way for you to know whether I should have acted earlier you complete jerk.  I have provided no data about the child. I am flipping mad at APS, and I have every right to be. You can shove your judgement on my parenting where the son doesn’t shine. Go look in the mirror because I am guessing you probably have some glaring inadequacies in your own family life that make you come on here and post that I should have acted earlier.  [/quote]
