[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. Let’s be honest here, shall we? I have 25 students total. 5 students have an IEP. 3 have modifications. 5 students I put up for needing further interventions and are awaiting to get the ball rolling. 2 students are behavioral problems. It is to the point that we have to shut down my class, remove all students except that problem student and lock the door until a trained professional can remove him out. 4 students are above grade level by two years. However, I can barely challenge them because of the other students in my class that can not even meet the current curriculum. Yet I should be rated on if students are growing? Rate me on the fact that students come home every day alive. We are currently in survival mode here. Get the kids out that are behavior issues. Get the kids out that are three years below grade level. Get the kids out that are way above grade level. Let’s go back to sped classes, gifted classes and general classes. [/quote]

Curious on your view on IEPs. My marginally informed sense is that they are handed out too frequently and that the bureaucracy surrounding them often outweighs the overall benefits by putting undue burden on the schools, particularly if a parent is feeling indignant and litigious. But, I'm more likely to hear about the problem cases and perhaps most IEPs are beneficial and easily administered?[/quote]
