[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year Westover ignored IEP and said the teachers handle what they can - and told us to explore our options… ie counseled out and not caring they dont comply with requirement. [/quote]

DCPS drafts bad IEPs. [b]They put stuff in there that parents ask for that cannot really be done in the classroom. [/b]IMO sometimes parents have a hard time transitioning their kids to the greater independence of middle school as well. What exactly were they not implementing? [/quote]

If those are services that the student needs, maybe they need more pull out time, if they can't be implemented in the classroom.[/quote]

So when kids get into middle school, pullouts become really counterproductive because it is really hard to make up that class time especially with a block schedule (not sure if Hardy has that). In MS it is a different game when the teacher has 100-150 students vs elementary school where the teacher has 25-30 students. The question is what the student “needs.” Yes you could fight for a math pullout during the school day but then they will miss classroom instruction time. Tutoring, a co-taught class, or different placement might be better.

My kid has just the social worker pullout now and I only put that in because he truly needs that for mental health reasons.

MS is really where things start to change. [/quote]
