[QUOTE="nellomsnatal, post: 415948, member: 11496"] This year, my daughter, a 7th grdr, changed to a high performing SD in a smaller population. Prior to that, she was never identified as having a math problem, but has always struggled. She did successfully pass testing from 5-6, but when the old SD was faced with a number of problems, we decided to switch. After, her initial first round of test results revealved she was below grade level, she was placed in a Title 1 class, and is performing well in that environment, in addition to her regular math class. However, her regular math teacher has seen no growth, and now believes that it warrants moving towards an IEP. Her other class grades have been A & B, so they are suggesting that she has a math specific disability. While I am concerned that additional support is needed, I am concerned that she is going to be adversely effected by the label of Special Education. I understand that she could be in a LRE, but that cant be determined until an assessment is conducted. As a parent that is new to all of this, I have to say that I am quite confused about how to go forward. At this point, I have hired a private certified teacher that tutors my daughter on Saturdays for 2 hours, but that has only been for the last month. She does seem to do a lot of forgetting, but once she does it, she is able to recall. My question is... has anyone experienced their child being stigmitized by the IEP, and if its been more of a henderance than a help, or would my continuing a long range relationship.. twice a week, with the certified teacher would be nothing less than what the SD IEP would offer? She is already dealing with self esteem problems, but I do want her to be afforded all the supporting she can get. I hate to say this, but I wonder if this high performing SD would be more interested in having her on IEP status for them, than for her. PLEASE HELP ME [/QUOTE]
