[quote=Anonymous]Of all ironies, I asked this question recently of our team on my own child's IEP.  Many goals at 70% or 75% accuracy -- why?  Why not 100%?  Don't we want my kid to know ALL his letters, be able to count to 50, be able to read a sentence??  (Obviously, my child is much younger).

I actually got a reasonable and logical response -- or I thought it was.  The way they explained it in many areas 70 or 75% demonstrates a child is well on their way to mastery and they want the flexibility to add in new goals that while augmenting and supporting the earlier goal, advance the child step to step to mastery of a particular subject or skill set.  If they set them all at 95% they would actually may be slowing themselves down because they would be fixated on documenting to the 95% when they could have moved on to newer or different skills and learning with goals at 70 and 75%.

I hope this made sense to you.  I probably didn't articulate very well.

Either way OP, ask your friend to ask their case manager.  If it doesn't make sense or sounds like BS, time for the IEP meeting.
