Is this normal? At the start of the school year, I was removed from the extra help classes included in my IEP because my reading and math skills were reportedly at grade level. Those smaller group sessions were incredibly beneficial for me, as having more focused support made the material much easier to understand than in a regular classroom setting. A big part of my improvement came from those classes, as they helped me feel like I was truly working at my grade level. To make matters worse, my parents weren’t informed about my removal until two weeks later.

It sounds like you’re going through a really frustrating situation, and it’s completely understandable to feel that way. It’s important that you have the support you need, especially when you’re making progress in your learning. Being moved out of extra help classes without proper communication with your family isn’t ideal, particularly when those resources have been beneficial for you.
Have you had a chance to talk to your teachers or the school about your feelings? They should be aware of how important those classes were for your learning. Your IEP is designed to support your educational needs, and it’s okay to advocate for yourself and let them know what works best for you. Your input is valuable, and it might help them understand the importance of re-evaluating this decision. Remember, you’re not alone in this, and there are people who can help you navigate these challenges.
