[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a junior son with ADHD and autism, who is in a combination of team taught classes as well as IB classes. The inconsistency in the use of Schoology has been a literal nightmare for him. Every single teacher uses it differently. Of his seven classes,  I would say three consistently put things on the calendar, some teachers do the paper calendar schedule, while others just “tell” the kids when test or quizzes are coming. It is impossible to navigate and I bring this up every single IEP meeting. He is pretty much surviving high school by playing constant catch up on sis with a tutor. We hired the tutor simply because we were having so many negative interactions with our child about missing school work that it was having a great impact on our overall relationship.   [/quote]

Will it be any different in college?[/quote]

Yes, professors are more likely to put assignments on canvas/blackboard in advance or even have the whole semester planned out in the syllabus. Also, students typically only take 5 college classes vs 7 highschool classes[/quote]

Yep. College professors can't get away with doing as they please. You get a syllabus and know exactly what is expected and when. It's a hard job to get and keep. Nobody wants to be a teacher anymore due to pay, extra work and difficult parents, but they can also get away with more because they are in demand.

It is pure insanity to have to call procedural support and an advocate into an IEP meeting simply to get everyone to post all tests and quizzes on the schoology calendar. Those who work for the school will act like you have asked each teacher to write a dissertation by Monday. The advocate sits there asking how long it actually takes to post to the darn calendar. Do you want kids to pass your tests? Do you want to keep having IEP meetings about this? Our advocate asked them to quantify how long it it takes to input a test into schoology because the PSL acted like we had no right to ask for this. The admin finally admitted it's a quick process. This should not be an accommodation people ask for. it should not require someone from gatehouse or a parent paying an advocate or lawyer. It is common sense. Put all major assessments in one place.[/quote]
