[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, what do parents want the service providers to do? PARCC is all hands on deck, every special ed staffer, multiple hours a day for 2-4 weeks at a time. There's no choice, no way out of it. It's physically impossible to fit this all in, plus make sure your whole caseload gets their hours, plus attend the 15 middle school IEP transition meetings that are scheduled when there isn't PARCC. Time just doesn't function that way. And there's no help coming to make up missed hours, because the year is ending and the school system thinks their employees can make 2+2=6, and it wasn't just your kid that got missed, it was 40 others. What do you want them to do? [/quote]

From a parents perspective, the employees just lie and use any excuse possible not to follow IEPS.   It really stinks.  Really disappointed in how dishonest and bad special ed teachers are.  [/quote]

Right, because those teachers would rather administer PARCC instead of teaching???  Are you serious right now?  You are calling special ed teacher dishonest and bad because they have to administer a state mandated assessment.  Dishonest and bad because they spend their time reading the same test over and over again so your child can have the assessments outlined on their IEP.  Dishonest would be not giving your child the accommodations stated on their IEP, that would be illegal.  Administering an assessment with the outline accommodations IS following an IEP.

Very true. Parents may not like the situation, but that doesn't mean anyone is being dishonest. Parent understanding and expectations of the IEP may not be reasonable. I am curious about OPs child. If your child doesn't have any testing accommodations at all, why would you push for so much service? If your DC can function in the gen ed settng, what difference does 4 days of testing make in the big picture? This does not constitute a denail of FAPE----which is the point of the IEP.[/quote]
