[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And those kids don't get the shaft if they get a proper IEP and aggressively monitor it.  A 504 gets you nothing.  An IEP, properly written, and monitored, should be able to cover the brilliant child with other issues so they are not stuck in "balkinized siloes" (unbelievable).  If the parents expect the school to do everything for them it will not happen. You have to be assert about the IEP.  You have to monitor.  You have to make sure you are getting good team teachers.  You have to watch your child.  You have to raise issues with the team if the child is not receiving the benefits on the IEP.  And if that doesn't work you call the Fairfax Compliance Officer and ask for a full sit-down meeting.  You can't just sit in your multi-million dollar home and whine about Balkinized Siloes if you aren't doing your homework and advocating for your child.[/quote]

We have had the FCO at sit downs and at our IEP meetings (she was basically a CYA person for the administration), we have had people from GateHouse at our meetings (we have had the most help from them), we have done our homework and advocated, hired advocates, hired private evaluators, hired tutors,  and still MS and until THIS year, HS has NOT had team taught classes in Honors AP or AAP.  Do not speak of what you do not know, you ignorance and assumptions are astounding.

I dare you to go to Fairfax Twice Exceptional yahoo group and make your outrageous statement and see what happens.
