[quote=Anonymous]OP, same thing here, more or less, in Arlington, although DC is of average intelligence. Your posts raise a lot of good questions. Our DC has had an IEP since 1st grade and the results have been less than stellar. One thing that you could do is demand that the school system give your DS access to a free service called bookshare.org, which pairs audio with text -- lots of good books are available. We occasionally have had DC dictate to us but more often DC has typed. In our experience, the issue isn't the teachers (who by and large have been a dedicated bunch) but rather the methods that the school system makes available. I will say that, unfortunately, the law does not require schools to ensure that children realize their full potential or make available the best services -- all that's required, alas, is that schools make available a "free, appropriate public education." The standard, IMO, is way too low/lenient. Good luck![/quote]
