[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I’ve never been told to do this. I will admit that it can be overwhelming. In a typical year, I may have 150 student overall. 40 of them may have an IEP or 504. I’m overwhelmed. It’s hard to respectfully follow each student’s plan. For example, one test may require 6 different versions to accommodate different needs. I have to create those tests. Some need to be given under different scenarios. (This student needs me to write for them. This student needs me to read all questions out loud.) I have to stay after school to accommodate that. I’m already working 60+ hours a week. Yes, some things slip through the cracks. I’m trying. I’m always trying. I’m just one person, however, and I’m being asked to do the work of three. No, I’m not ignoring IEPs and 504s. I just can’t do it all. [/quote] This rings true at my school, too. (MS SpEd Para) And kids routinely refuse accommodations to not stand out.[/quote]
