[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So you would be facing first, extended deadlines that would not be taken well by the other members of the many group projects, and then also a piling up of more and more assignments, each one with an extension. [/quote]

OP again. With all due respect, this isn't what happens. The IEP does not give my DC extended deadlines. DC has the same deadline as everyone else. The difference is the teacher is supposed to provide intermediate milestones to help DC (and other kids with similar accommodations) to plan the project. So if a project is due April 30, the teacher may say by April 10 have these tasks accomplished, by April 20 these next tasks, etc. Just like my project manager at work gives milestones and activities due by those dates.

I find this hard to believe since kids can have IEPs for a very wide variety of reasons, many of which would not be visible to outsiders.

Have you MET the teachers at TJ?[/quote]

NP here.  I have worked with several math teachers at conferences and vertical articulation sessions in the county.  I did a couple "shadow" days as an educator at an under represented middle school.  So I've had conversations with the teachers there, though I admit fully that I don't know them well.

The thing about IEPs is that they range SO MUCH.  I have one child who has an IEP saying they are allowed to type everything instead of hand write.  I have another who gets speech services because he has a lisp.  Another is an academic genius, but gets social skills help once per week.  Any of these kids should be easily accommodated into any academic environment, as their IEPs aren't really academically related.

I'd be concerned with the OPs description of what her child needs meshing at TJ though.[/quote]
