[quote]I would like to very gently suggest that this perspective may be part of the problem. If your DD has LDs that create anxiety, make it hard to follow directions, etc., she needs and deserves the help and support of the school system. She can't get that if you are avoiding working with the school or getting her formal accommodations -- I know it's hard as you may not want to "label" her, but this is clearly not in her best interest. With appropriate accommodations, she might be able to shed a lot of her anxiety and be happier at school. My own DD struggles with similar issues regarding instructions on tests and she's also a very bright, honor roll student. But these struggles cause her a LOT of anxiety and stress, even though teachers might have no idea if she didn't have a 504.[/quote]

[quote] You can't insist she has a learning disability that everybody knows about (except they don't) and thus that excuses the behavior when you don't have an IEP. I can't even follow your logic here.
 
You ask about legal rights. The only legal rights here I think are for you to get a formal 504 and IEP and go forward on a prospective basis based on that.
 
[b]But I don't think you can now pull the "but she has a SN" card out of the deck and try to play it. You kind of have to have the baseline there already. Formally[/b].[/quote]

Totally agree with these PP. Especially with bolded section.
