Last Friday (December 3rd) I got a letter home from school. I thought, "great, here is the letter about the upcoming SST meeting, maybe IEP stuff!" But, what was it??
Dear Parent:
Grade Level outcomes have been established for all students in preschool through grade twelve. The PE curriculum is structured so that all students are provided every opportunity to achieve success.
Our current assessment of (Syd) indicates that she would benefit from additional instruction in the following areas:
* dribble a playground ball with dominant hand
* demonstrate an overhand throw
For the next 6 weeks, Dec. 6th to Jan 14, we would like to schedule your daughter to receive 15 minutes each week of additional physical education instruction in a small group setting. We will then reassess her improvement and notify you of our finding and recommendations. Your signature below will give your approval for your child to participate. Please sign and return this form to your child's PE teacher....
Yes, that is correct. Apparently my efforts to get extra help for my daughter have paid off. She will now get 15 minutes a week of special PE, because, apparently, it is far more important that she can dribble a ball than it is for her to recognize her sight words...
Do I bang my head on the wall now, or do I laugh at the ridiculousness of it all?
