IEP Present Levels of Performance - What is your child able to do?

IDEA §300.347(a) Content of IEP states an IEP must contain:

(1) A statement of the child's present levels of educational performance, including -

(i) How the child's disability affects the child's involvement and progress in the general curriculum (i.e., the same curriculum as for nondisabled children); or

(ii) For preschool children, as appropriate, how the disability affects the child's participation in appropriate activities;

IDEA §300.346(a)(1) Development, review, and revision of IEP, (a) Development of IEP says (1) In developing each child's IEP, the IEP team, shall consider -

(i) The strengths of the child and the concerns of the parents for enhancing the education of their child;

I found a "sample" PLOP statement on one state's Department of Education website. This is an example of what kinds of PLOP statements are commonly found in IEPs. Statements are similar to this:

"Johnny figits constantly and has a difficult time staying on task. He is behind his classmates and requires intervention."

This statement was used as a "sample" for teachers to use in developing PLOP statements. This is an inappropriate PLOP statement. Why?

PLOP Quiz Question

What is wrong with the example PLOP statement?

There are no strengths listed and nothing is positive.
The IEP team has no information about how to best teach this child.
No objective current levels of performance are defined.
All of the Above.
