[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a special education teacher but a general education teacher. From what I have seen, no one is trying to lie and hide things on purpose. The special education team at my school genuinely cares about kids and advocates for them. It just becomes impossible sometimes to provide all the supports that some students need. The staff is overwhelmed. Some iep meetings take several hours and that is just for one student. Some parents can also be unreasonable and unrealistic. Lawsuits happen frequently and cause additional stress along with an extra deluge of paperwork. [/quote]

I cannot imagine most take hours.  Ours was recycled from another child, including with their name in a few spots and several things made no sense.  We were not allowed any input and were told to sign or we’d lose services.  Given what was offered given that current staffing nothing sadly was better.  I wish I got an advocate early on but it seemed to make more sense to use that money on services privately which we could get immediately without a fight vs advocate or attorney fees.  We couldn’t afford both.  [/quote]
