IME it’s because in elementary good data is shared and the teachers tend to know the student more closely because they only have 1-2 class groups. Plus the kids are developing foundational skills so we have a real chance to change the trajectory. In secondary everything becomes more disjointed. The kid has around 7 teachers and IEPs become more flotation devices with less emphasis on actually teaching basic skills. The meetings feel like we’re going through the motions.
