[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I very much doubt any parent who describes the IEP or 504 process at Hamm as smooth and/or who waited until middle school to help their child. But then I see where a parent who describes kids finally get assistance as an onslaught as compared to a history of ignoring kids or sending them to a different school (seriously, PP? seriously?) probably would rather their own child was "normal."

Also, you can google accommodations, 504s, IEPs for elementary school kids. But you didn't do that when your kid needed them because you were ableist. So there's that.

Are none of you able to read my posts? I was saying that to someone who had been teaching for 20 years, the landscape had changed considerably and it could feel like an onslaught. It wasn’t my own impression.

Anyways, my kid did great in elementary school, it was no problem and had the highest ratings on standard base grading, high scores on SOL‘s, it was easy. But then when you get to middle school and the necessity of tracking homework and projects and actual test that matter, it became apparent the disorganization and executive function was

We are at HBW, and I suspect the fact that we have a counselor, i.e. a teacher who has a smaller subset of students may make it easier for our IEP to be met. I don’t know how it is at Hamm.

our psychologist was very clear that the school must provide the services, it’s the law and once you show up with the testing, they just check through the list of accommodations hard by law. What does the principal have to do? I just don’t understand?

I know that there are pullouts for social skills, we do not have experience with that, executive function, coaching, and then they do things like your kid at the front of the class and let them have tools to help them focus in class. I just don’t see where the principal gets involved.[/quote]

So you've never had trouble getting your kid what they need at school. But others have. Why is that so hard for you to grasp?

It's hilarious that you think schools always follow the law automatically. They don't.[/quote]

I’m asking at Taylor what services they are having trouble getting?  It seems like for elementary school it’s pretty low hanging fruit. [/quote]
DP. What is that based on though? You don’t seem to know what services would/could be available in elementary school so how would you know if it’s low hanging fruit? And also the person who started here might as well post her kids name if she’s just going to post the specific service they had trouble with. It’s not that big a school and the principal was only here since 2022. [/quote]

I asked broadly what services. They told me to Google it. I did. I listed those services and don’t see why a principal would be involved in moving a kid to the front of the class or getting an organization binder. 
They can list their bit along with other bits to be anonymous. [/quote]

Then you have no idea how the special ed process works, and you definitely don't know how badly sped kids and families have been treated at Taylor. And you don't seem at all like you care, just want to minimize what other people have been through. Sorry if you liked this principal. Others did not. [/quote]

I’m starting to see why she is dismissive of you parents. I’ve asked for concrete examples of the types of services that have been refused and what part she would play in it, and i get repeated directions to google it (which i have, as well as asked an LLM), and no help.

I expect your bad behavior will be noted by the teachers and will poison the well for the hiring process of a new principal. Thanks. [/quote]

And it has been explained to you that you are asking for information that could out a child. Why are you so nosy? No one owes you private information. [/quote]

I have listed a bunch of services for an IEP, I researched it on APS and other resources.  None of it it really involves the principal. So it’s clear you were asking for something very special for your child, likely beyond the IEP requirements, and that’s why it will out your child. And that’s why KM likely didn’t accommodate you, because it was outside the norm, but you are convinced it’s a necessity. It’s clear thank you. [/quote]
DP. This is the dumbest logic I have ever seen. You can’t say something is outside of the norm without even knowing what the disability is or what the request was! You don’t even know why KM disagreed it could’ve been she wanted more testing or any number of other reasons not directly related to what the request was. [/quote]

If the request would be that identifying and not in the standard IEP accommodations list it is by definition outside the normal accommodations.  But PP just like to be coy about what they were asking and throw unsupported complaints about KM. [/quote]

IEPs are about much more than accommodations so you're wrong again. And even for an accommodation, there may be a specific accommodation that a student needed that was denied so it could be identifying.

You are mixing up so much and I dont have time or patience to explain it to you. You think just because you did a little research now you're an expert.

You have no idea what you're talking about but yet you want to lay blame on families when you have no idea what they have been through.

You are CLUELESS. [/quote]
