[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not the PP, but I would also immediately escalate a situation where my kid was getting zeros instead of their documented accommodations. Calling an IEP meeting gets the attention of everyone who needs to be on board. I would not describe that reaction as hostile. [/quote]

It absolutely is when you write “watch what happens” and call for the teacher to be removed from the job, as the PP stated.

When 1/3rd of a class has accommodations, as many classes do these days, it’s natural that a teacher may make a mistake. Reasonable people will kindly email the teacher. Unreasonable people will act like the PP.

I have a child with an IEP. We’ve had to remind teachers about accommodations. A kind email gets a “I will fix it and thank you.” That’s usually all it takes.

Or you can declare war. From my view, that makes little sense. Teachers are mere humans and we are demanding far too much of them right now. Giving them grief and more work isn’t going to fix the problem. Giving them grace and a kind reminder will.
