[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry that you feel that it is utterly ridiculous, but it is true. Accommodations are tools and techniques to show that the student is learning the same thing as everyone else. They not ways to reduce the amount a student must learn. At least at top high schools in MoCo, we don't ever do "busy work" in honors/ AP science so the idea of dropping material is something that would never be in the discussion. Everything that is done is in class is part of the curriculum. It will be worked on via formative assessments and tested with summative assessments. As PP stated, it is true that if you can't meet the rigors of the honors or AP classes or if you need the work load to be diminished then you must drop down a level.

OP, I'm sorry you are going through all of this. I see this from both ends because I have an SN child and I work with them in my classes (including kids on HHT). I hope your daughter's condition betters over time, but for now this is your new normal. It will take everyone time to adjust, but healing and anxiety reduction need to be priority number one.

No.  Accommodations are not "tools or techniques to show that the student is learning the same things as everyone else."  Accommodations have nothing to do with demonstrating that the student is learning.  Accommodations are WHATEVER is needed to assist a disabled person to access the curriculum, including extending deadlines, changing assignments, and modifying assignments.

Your ignorance is truly very frightening.  I have a lot of concern about any disabled student in your classes.[/quote]

Don't have concerns. I'm not ignorant, just cutting the conversation too short. I was speaking in the context of the PPs statements and in reference to 504s, not about every aspect of IDEA, writing IEPs or any other aspect of special ed law. We're really talking about the difference between accommodations and a privatem, home education (whatever that may be). And the WHATEVER accommodations needed still needs to take into account that the curriculum for an advanced level course does not have a lot of wiggle room. [b]All students, special needs or not, still need to meet all of the same benchmarks.[/b] [/quote]

You realize this is what you believe -- not what the law says?[/quote]
