  Case: New Student with Unsupportive Parents
I have a student in my classroom that has enrolled in public school for the first time this year as a third grader. Previously, he was homeshooled. I noticed quickly that he had a difficult time reading and calling basic site words. After performing a reading assessment on him, I realized he was on a first grade reading level. After bringing his parents in to discuss his progress, I asked their permission to begin the RTI process on their child to start inventions in reading. They were against the idea and said their son could read just fine and I was the first person to ever comment on his reading ability. They did not want him to get any more support because they did not believe he had a problem, even after showing them his responses to the testing information. How can I make them see that he needs help and is struggling in all subject areas because he has difficulty reading?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would move on with the RTI process anyway. He needs help. They do not have to agree to the process for it to happen from my understanding. At the end of the day, it is about the student, not mom's pride.

Comments: I think you should make all efforts to be on the same page as the parents and try to abide by their wishes, it is still their child, I would not do this.
