[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a private high school, and one of my teachers flat out told the (business math) class [b]she didn't read any of our IEPs[/b] because she didn't want to pre-judge us. She wanted to accept us as we presented to her.

But, this was also a teacher who was very flexible and go with the flow. So if one kid decided to sit on the windowsill she said nothing. If we asked if we could have class outside in nice weather she was likely to say yes. If someone didn't understand and someone else volunteered to explain it a different way in the hallway, she said yes. [/quote]

You realize that is a pretty huge problem, right?[/quote]

Definitely.  PPP, talk about meant to be kind words that hurt, you're on target if that's what you were trying to do.  This teacher was lazy, uninformed or just stupid, unethical, and breaking the law.  It's also completely irrelevant to this discussion, but unsettling to parents with children who have SNs b/c you obviously don't "get it."[/quote]

Well I grew up with an IEP, and DO have severe learning disabilities. She did something unethical, but it wasn't lazy or stupid.  She had a reason for what she did, and she accommodated everyone's needs. [/quote]
