Grouping of Students into one class
Can someone help? This feels illegal. My granddaughter had a difficult 1st grade. The majority of the class was disruptive. Very little parent participation. My daughter was the room "mom" and witnessed first hand, little learning was being done. They thought it was just bad luck their daughter ended up in such a "bad" class. My granddaughter is now almost finished with 2nd grade. She struggled with keeping up after not getting the fundamentals to build upon but she is a B-C student. The school called for a meeting with my daughter and son-in-law to go over my granddaughter's evaluation. Long story short. My daughter was told by an administrator that her daughter was "picked" by the principal (now gone) to be in a class for lower scoring students during 1st grade due to her scoring from kindergarten. (At 5 she mixed up b and d) The admin were pushing the parents to put their child into Special Resource. We are all very upset. The child has been able to learn 2 grades in 1 year and maintain a B-C average. She is struggling because of being "placed" in a classroom with troubled and behavioral issues without parental consent or knowledge. If the child had any learning disabilities which would assist her, that would be different. When the parents refused to say their daughter's struggles are due to learning disabilities and not the year without learning anything, the admins cut off the meeting with nothing more to say. They are angry, which I don't blame them. This seems outrageous!!!
