[quote=Anonymous] In another thread another parent wrote: For what it's worth, I later learned some lore which may or may not be true and it may explain why the SN counselor was fighting the IEP so hard. Apparently some Asian American families have learned to game the system by trying to get IEPs or 504s before high school so their kids can get extra time on the SAT and ACT. So there is a sudden increase in applications for IEPs and ACTs just as kids enter high school. Hence FCPS is on guard for that... We also heard something similar from the group that did our daughter's evaluation and they are very well known in the area and well connected! It seems insane that SN coordinators would have this attitude!! Has anyone else heard this or experienced this sort of discrimination? It makes me so angry to think that just because of a child's race some SN coordinators would come into an IEP meeting with a bias. Very unfair to the child. [/quote]
