[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher just sent them an email that I was copied on. questioning why something was not done in the allotted 15 minutes…also seemed as if they were viewing typing as some sort of special gift.[/quote]
OP at my kids' school, with most teachers there wouldn't be an email.  Just a zero on the grade book - and they would move on without a second thought.  Is that what you would prefer?[/quote]

Not op, but pull that sh*t on my kid and I call an IEP meeting so fast they wouldn't know what hit them. Willfully ignore my kids accommodations and see what happens. I can call a meeting every day of the week if I need.

If you are the teacher described, you need to be removed from your job.

DP and I'm not sure your hostility/escalation is necessary.

Yes, your child has an IEP that should / must be followed. So do about 1/3rd of the students in the class. The teacher is just one human trying to fulfill the required accommodations for every single student in the class simultaneously. Teachers are not able to draw from a well of supernatural powers, which is what teaching in 2026 seems to require.

And I say this as a parent of a child with an IEP. I want my child's IEP to be met, as it should be. But I also know what the teacher is up against, so I'm not going to demand they are "removed from the job" considering the job is completely, 100% impossible now. [/quote]

You're a lousy teacher if you know a kid has an iep and you're giving them 0s while ignoring their accommodations. Do that to my kid and watch what happens. [/quote]

Okay. So you’re going to escalate with hostility. Gotcha. Good luck. [/quote]

OP here-- the teacher did not give my kid a "0" -- I was writing more about the tone and how she handled it (seemed to be coming from a place of blame/wrongdoing VS help)[/quote]

You need to develop a thicker skin. And don’t assume that the teacher was 100% at fault. There are many kids who misuse the extended time accomodation. [/quote]
