[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YEARS of concerns and requests to teachers AND principals? My kids were in public schools for 12 years and I never spoke to a principal one time. What are you asking for?[/quote]

She said accommodations so that means either 504 or IEP. An insanely uphill struggle for years.

School staff are often very sexist. They will lie to a woman’s face and expect her to not to challenge the lie but smile, feel awkward and run away. You have to show them you are not playing games. Put on your lawyer face, be calm, direct, and strong. If they misstate a policy or law, lodge an objection immediately. If they lie, call them on it.

My favorite interaction was a principal saying she couldn’t do something which was clearly a lie. I calmly said, OK I will escalate to the central office. Her response was no you don’t understand we can’t do that. I responded I understand that you do not have the authority to make this decision. I will simply escalate to someone who does have the authority. She immediately back pedaled and agreed to follow the IEP. [/quote]
