The school wants to RETAIN your child. But have they addressed WHY your child is struggling?
When an IEP team recommends retention, emotions can run high—especially when parents have concerns about whether services were implemented properly.
Karen shares a powerful advocacy strategy: Listen to understand, not just to respond!
Ask the team to explain their reasons, review your child's progress data, and determine whether appropriate instruction and supports have been provided.
Retention alone doesn't fix unmet learning needs. The focus should be on helping your child make meaningful progress!
