Thanks Juili,
I think I do look at the special qualities of special ed students and that's why I have so many in my room (up to 10 at one time), no special education teacher team teaching with me. My question was just
curiosity about grades. I have every confidence those students who take math in my class are as capable mastering math concepts as my better readers. The two I send out to read the test have difficulty with reading (one dyslexic and the other ESL). I fully agree with all you've send and promote that kind of thinking in my classroom. My only question/observation was that these two students

seem to get coaching as well as reading assistance when they leave the room for assistance. My guess is that it's difficult to separate the reading/coaching given that comprehension of math worded problems needs some coaching if a student's comprehension is weak. Having said that though, I don't coach the students who stay in my room even though reading may not be their strength. Thank you for your wise words. It's nice to hear from the special education teachers given there are so many students with IEPs who I work with every day.
