[quote=Anonymous]We're headed into our first IEP meeting at an MCPS elementary and I'm feeling the need for some perspective. I've read the cautionary tales and advice, and I believe we are going into this with our eyes open. But there seems to be so much adversary between parents and administrators, it's really getting me down. I know that resources are limited, parents want the best for their kids, and meetings can get intense. Most parents I know in MC hire lawyers to accompany them to these meetings - many recommend recording the proceedings. Maybe I'm naive, but I really don't want to strike a combative chord with my kid's school - at least not at the beginning of this journey. I'm an educator myself, and I believe that no one goes into public education for the money or to screw kids out of needed services. Am I a Polyanna for believing that my kid's public school wants what is best for her? Has anyone had positive experiences with special education services in MCPS? I'm so depressed by what I've been reading on these boards, I'm really wanting to hear some success stories. Thank you.[/quote]
