[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in FCPS but an IEP mom. I think teachers should get additional planing time to administer IEPs. I also think if they got overtime to do IEP meetings before or after school that would not only be easier for parents but also might be better for teachers. Definitely something I would expect the unions to advocate for.

I also think schools would benefit a lot by just putting a modest amount of effort up front to write IEPs and 504s that a) actually address the issues and b) can be implemented. There is no reason to have an IEP that cannot physically be implemented. Just because parents demand something (ie written lecture notes) does not mean that schools have to agree if it is too burdensome. Inevitably these are not magic keys to access the curriculum but rather a laundry list of items. [/quote]

Part of the problem is parent groups sometimes convince parents they need to demand all kinds of things in their kid’s IEP or 504 and not settle for anything less. One of my kids has a 504 with some basic accommodations. According to some parent groups I should be demanding an IEP and several things that I know are not realistic for the district to provide. But some of these groups are very dogmatic in their thinking and try to make parents feel like they aren’t doing enough if they don’t demand everything under the sun. [/quote]
