OP - If the teacher is experienced and usually a good instructor, then perhaps you need to look impartially at what is needed to accommodate and meet the goals of all the children's IEP.  Is the staffing of assistants enough in the classroom? Is there an overage of kids with intense needs or very similar needs that is dragging her down? Is the mainstreaming being done with enough support?  If it is lesson plans not being done, then request a review ahead of them by her supervisor?  Are the behaviors of your child and others overtaxing so that perhaps more or retraining in certain strategies needs to be done?  Does the class need a bit more "down time" in trying to attack the academics?  It could also be something in her own life outside of school also pulling her down - a new baby or other aged young child not sleeping well, older parent or sick spouse with more need for her time etc.  At least you are aware that the teacher is human, too, and sometimes does not quite measure up

I would suggest a meeting with her and her direct supervisor to share you concerns, the pattern you have voice here and ask how a way might be worked out to serve your child more consistently?[/quote]
