[quote=Anonymous]I am the teacher that posted previously.  Our district doesn't have money for any additional resources.  They are constantly cutting everything and anything.  No librarian, no technology teacher and nobody to fix the broken technology, no money at all for classroom teachers for supplies (we buy everything including pencils), no paper towels and toilet paper orders after Spring Break (that was interesting).  They got rid of nearly all of the paraeducators years ago.  The accommodations that students need are really in an ideal situation.  I cannot scribe for 5 students, read for 6 others and read selected sections for 4 others without  1) assistance from someone else or  2) using a lot of class time before and after each test/quiz/benchmark or  3) using all of my lunch and planning time to pull the students out of other classes to make these accommodations.  Most of these accommodations are good ideas but not in reality in my school and district in general.  I am sorry if that offends some people but it is what it is.  Of course I want all of my students to perform to the best of their abilities but to put these accommodations in an IEP/504 and not make it possible in real life is wrong IMO.  My own daughter has a 504 but she attends school in a neighboring district where there are plenty of paras, assistants, etc to make it all happen.  [/quote]
