[quote=Anonymous]Needing a modified assignment is NOT the same thing as removing assignments. The OP asked for assignments to be taken out, but that is just not the letter or spirit of special education. She is basically asking for the course to be dumbed down. No educator worth his/her salt would ever agree to such a thing. And if they do, then you should have a red flag that their curriculum is weak, poorly correlated and probably lacking in multiple areas. If an SN child cannot (as in will never be able to unless you remove parts of the curriculum) access all of an optional course then it really isn't on the school to change the curriculum or lower standards. If the course is something like honors, AP, electives, etc. and there is a lower level course available then the school is obligated to place that child where they would derive the most benefit: in the class in which the child is capable of succeeding. Needing extended time or modifications on assignments is not the same as being incapable of doing the assignments so therefore they must be removed. [/quote]
