Teacher not following accommodations

[Anonymous]

You sound like one of those people who thinks you can abuse or beat the disability out of someone. People like you and the poster above make life hell for our kids. The poster above thinks every kid with disabilities is like her kid. It's such a lie to imply that people with disabilities can JUST WORK HARDER to keep up. Such ignorance.

No. I am all for helping people with disabilities succeed to the best of their abilities. I am in favor of giving them a leg up in learning what is needed. I am not in favor of giving them a leg up when it comes to measuring achievement. When giving a test to evaluate the information learned, the standards should be consistent with other students.

Agreed, excluding needing adaptive equipment for vision, hearing, etc.
The majority of accommodations should be phased out over time, which can vary from 1-2 years to over a decade. If after 8 years a student still needs reduced questions or choices because of ADHD or ED, then something is wrong with the type of support they are receiving at home/school.

(Again allowing for adaptative equipment like for vision / hearing where having that equipment would do zilch for kids without the disability).

So you think kids just grow out of their disabilities? You are making zero sense.

DP. Adults adults with ADHD don’t have 504s in the workplace.

People like you are enabling your kids to play victims. Kids with ADHD or dyslexia need to adapt and learn to compete on the same playing field as their peers. I am an adult with ADHD and I don’t get half the workload or ask for “time and a half” to perform my tasks.

My high school son doesn’t hear well from one ear so has a 504 plan. It is so annoying when I have to repeatedly beg for him to sit up front with his good ear toward the teacher. I bring in notes from his audiologist and his ENT. Sometimes the teachers tell me that there are too many requests to sit up front and since my son is well behaved they can’t as one teacher put I it “waste the seat” on him. My son isn’t comfortable repeatedly bugging his teachers so he is often in the back of the room. This affects his ability to look at the teachers mouth, participate, understand the lecture, take notes, understand other students etc.

Too many students get a ridiculous amount of accommodations. Not every kid with a 504 should get preferential seating but almost every 504 student does according to my son’s counselor.

I would think your son has priority to sit near the teacher due to his hearing issue. That’s non negotiable and on his 504.

WTH? The disability doesn't go away. You are truly, sincerely clueless.

We aren't trying to "give them a leg up". That's the crux of your ignorance. The accommodations level the playing field when you are stuck thinking it gives a child with disabilities an advantage over your precious snowflake. I assume you resent the kid who gets a higher sat score than yours because the kid with disabilities gets extended time. You assume that kid with disabilities is dumb and should score lower than your kid. Amirite?

Are we talking about a wheelchair? Or dyslexia or ADHD? If the latter, the student should learn how to manage so that by the time they are in/graduate high school, they don't need the accomodations. So that they'll be ready to be an adult, who goes to college or gets a job without time and a half.

Is your goal for the student to live with their parents forever, unemployed and unemployable?

What should a teacher do when she has eight kids in a class of thirty that have preferential seating on their accommodations? I’m asking because this happens to me regularly. I can manipulate desks to get five in the front, at best.

I’m not being argumentative. This is a genuine concern. I often have 30+ students in a class, and as many as 13-14 may have accommodations I need to meet. I’m drowning as I try to meet all of them, but it left with competing demands that I, as one person, can’t accommodate. Test days can result in 4 different versions of each test given three different ways. I’m one person, trying my best, but I’m burning out and looking for an exit.

I mean the PP who keeps saying we are trying to give our kids a leg up is the troll. I noticed 4 posits in a row after 1 am all essentially saying the same thing. Sock puppeting anyone?! LOL.
