[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 504 and about half is implemented, the other half only when I push. [/quote]

Who is "we"? Your child has the 504 plan, not you. Half (or more) of the accommodations on 504s are not needed, and only written on the plan to get attention-seeking parents like yourself to shut up. Most parents who pursue 504 plans do so in order to cheat their way to extra time for their kid on the SAT, a need for attention, or both. [/quote]

I just hopped over here from the special needs board because I am trying to somehow find a way to support my kid and I found this gem. What a comment!

A word to the wise:

If you're a teacher, please do everyone a favor and quit your job. You're obviously terrible at it and are seething with resentment that you are tasked with providing a free and appropriate education to all students. The good news is, if you quit, you won't have to! Just think of all the parents you won't have to deal with anymore.

P.S. Your students absolutely hate you.

This resentment against students with disabilities who need 504 plans and IEPs is present in all levels of staff members at my child’s school - general education teachers, the case managers, the Resource Teacher Special Education, assistant principal, principal, and even the central office staff who attend meetings. Students with disabilities are struggling and staff treat students with disabilities as a nuisance instead of children that deserve an education. MCPS argues, fights, and refuse to provide the accommodations and services students with disabilities need. [/quote]

+1000.  It’s why we left.  It is a horrendous corporate culture.  If your child is in MCPS with a disability, I can assure you the grass is greener nearly any place else.  What aGod-forsaken, dysfunctional county.  [/quote]
