[quote=Anonymous]one way to look at IEPs for 2e kids (and I sort of hate this, but oh well) is to ensure that their grades are not overly damaged when they get to where it starts mattering in MS. you want to make sure they can retake assessments and be able to finish classwork at home. and the school needs to tell you about longer projects so you can make sure they get done at home at the right pace.

it doesn’t feel great to be grade-grubbing like this, but my impression is that compared to when we were in school, grades are MUCH more dependent on box-checking stuff (like “finish this online worksheet”) that is often our kids’ weakest link. There are no textbooks; no regular homework; no big tests to study for. So whereas you may have gotten through MS with As by reading the textbook before the test and doing a great job on your term paper, or by doing 30 minutes of math homework a night that got graded the next day, grades “these days” depend on a thousand different tiny things that have more to do with executive function than intelligence. Gone are the days when a 2e kid could be a disaster doe the semester then blow it out of the water with a great essay or 100% on a final. [/quote]
