[quote=Anonymous]IEPs and 504s are no guarantee of anything.  I have two SN kids and spent years in meetings, writing oh-so-nice emails to teachers, gently reminding them of my kids' special needs.  Still...the homework would come home.  If a teacher doesn't believe in your child's disability -- which happened to me many times -- it is a constant struggle. It doesn't matter if you're a special ed professor - a teacher is going to do what they want.  And if you don't like it, why you'll just have to call an IEP meeting.  And the crap goes on and on.

In the meantime, your child is the one who suffers.  One of my DD's issues is severe dysgraphia.  Writing for her was painstaking and often illegible.  Yet her 4th grade teacher didn't believe in dysgraphia and would have her copy over perfectly good homework because it wasn't up to her standards.  If you have not lived through the devastating effects of inappropriate homework on a SN child, you have no business commenting.

This is topic is NOT AT ALL about lazy kids who want to play video games instead of doing homework.   This is a mental health issue.

I am SO GLAD we are no longer in public schools.  This post reminds me of the hell that I left behind.
