In a way, it really doesn't seem 'fair' to ask a teacher to redesign a whole curriculum for one student, particularly if her curriculum is working for the vast majority of kids
I don't think we are asking her to do something special just for DS7. There are 2-3 other kids above level in the class and when the teacher differentiates, this group does it together. The one thing DS7 seems to need is an explanation of expectations before starting something that is brand new. Apparently the other kids are OK without that. The teacher seems to equate that with DS not needing the differentiation.
At this point DH is opposed to HS and PS would require a move. We like the school particularly for the environment and have made headway on DS9's academics but we also know that through 2nd will be a struggle on the academic front. We are set to meet with the administration next month to discuss next year, so maybe we can use that as an avenue as well if we can't make progress with teacher before then.
Thanks for the replies!
