[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key thing to understand is that just because something is on paper doesn't mean the issue is resolved. There is also a limit to what overburdened public school teachers can provide. Lip service can be paid and administrators just want you to stop bothering them.

[b]Accomodations can be made but the responsibility and effort must come from the student and parent part of the triade as well.[/b]

I cannot tell you how many meetings I attended where the expectation was that the teacher carry the student through to graduation.[/quote]

What the hell does that even mean? The school system my kid attends constantly tries not to provide the accommodations because so many teachers are 99.9% ignorant about disabilities and think they know better. Every single year kid encounters at least one teacher who thought they could refuse to follow the iep. My kid learned to speak up and still got treated horribly by some teachers. They tried to sabotage accommodations that were simple and cost little and required few resources.

I'm sick to death of the comments that all seem to be along the lines of "we don't have enough staff to manage the school so those slow kids with ieps will have to give up all expectation of us following IDEA." This is just discrimination against people with disabilities.  You assume people with disabilities are less than so, of course, you want to jettison all help for them at the first perceived sign of distress within the school system.

I have dealt with my school system for over 10 years and I have never seen a parent expecting a teacher to "carry" a student through to graduation. Explain what that even means. You are one of those teachers who is clueless and probably not that talented as an educator but you have strong opinions despite your ignorance. we all hope our kids never have to deal with you.[/quote]

Foam at the mouth all.you want.[/quote]

And school employee, comments like yours is why special needs parents justifiably do not trust any of you.[/quote]

DP And that’s fine, we can just fight and the student is the one who suffers. Have fun losing in court, I never lose.

I hate parents like this. All I want to do is help kids and families but then I get crazy parents who think I need to jump through hoops to build their trust. And ugh it’s even worse when they are non-POC and then racists on top of it.  [/quote]

You try to claim you have the student in mind while threatening that you never lose in Court.  I hope you have to spend all your time in due process challenges and you get you eventually get the loss you so richly deserve.[/quote]

The parents who have sued my school have never deserved free private and that’s the truth. I have gotten students private myself (and of course with the help of the whole team) when I know my school can’t meet their needs. Sorry to disappoint, I won’t lose. I will not back down when it is a case of PRIVILEGE and not NEED.
