[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, what do parents want the service providers to do? PARCC is all hands on deck, every special ed staffer, multiple hours a day for 2-4 weeks at a time. There's no choice, no way out of it. It's physically impossible to fit this all in, plus make sure your whole caseload gets their hours, plus attend the 15 middle school IEP transition meetings that are scheduled when there isn't PARCC. Time just doesn't function that way. And there's no help coming to make up missed hours, because the year is ending and the school system thinks their employees can make 2+2=6, and it wasn't just your kid that got missed, it was 40 others. What do you want them to do? [/quote]

I want my child's IEP implemented as we agreed. [b]If there is a resource issue, the teacher should raise it with her administrators.[/b] They should not be bullshitting me that testing counts as service hours.[/quote]

Pardon me while I fall over laughing. What will that accomplish? There are resource issues at every level, every day, all the time. There is no magical extra floating resource teacher or SLP or OT for admin to request be sent out to help the school-based staff make up all their service hours, or a magical supply of test examiners and accommodators that central office can send out to cover testing so these staff can do their regular jobs. Help isn't coming. They'll be told "Sorry, you'll just have to make it work," like they already have been all year with a hundred other issues. Should it be that way, of course not, but it is.

So file a complaint.  Complain to your union.  Talk to an ombudsman.  Call a reporter.  Whisper to a trusted parent about what's going on so she can file a complaint.  As long as you keep up the pretense and spew bullshit, you are complicit. [/quote]

+  1,000,000.  Come on teachers/administers. Have a little integrity here.  [/quote]
