[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 183292"] Ok. I just got off the phone with my former co-worker who's granddaughter is entering the 7th grade and is testing at 2nd and 3rd grade levels. The SD told her that it's fine because the IEP will follow her into high school and even into college so she'll always be able to take the 'slow' classes. :surprise: OMG. Here is my very specific question: If a child is capable of learning and a learning disability has been identified, is the school responsible for doing what it takes to bring them to grade level or are they allowed to just keep them in the 'slow' classes and usher them through school? Because I know without a doubt that both of these children in question are capable of learning. It seems like just setting them up for failure as adults. And what if a learning disability is not identified? I know from experience that this is SD is famous for saying that it's not 'severe enough' for them to do anything about it. I did read on wrights law last night that the SD is not allowed to say that. Is that correct? My head hurts now. I'm sorry to bombard you so much. I am just trying to help and get the services this child needs. by the way, I did pass along the wrights law website to the former co-worker. [/QUOTE]
