[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a student's special education meeting and we were all talking (the school team) with the parents and the mom was sort of sitting through the discussions and contributing while the father was sort of silently sitting there until the very end when the group proposed a plan (with a plan to check on the plan in six weeks) and he said "this all sounds like a great plan, but does Teacher X have everything she needs to actually accomplish what we all spent the past hour discussing? Because it doesn't seem fair to her or everyone's time if we reconvene and the answer is that circumstances prevented certain aspects of the plan (interventions, record keeping, etc) to actually be accomplished in a meaningful way. She has 28 students and this seems like a bit more work for her to take on." It got very weird after he spoke.

I was one of the teachers in the group (not the classroom teacher) and our principal actually took offense. I'm not sure if this makes sense, though. Am I missing something?[/quote] This seems like well known “good guy/bad guy” tactic you’ll find playing out in any serious negotiation.

Both parents likely knew what their role in the meeting would be beforehand, and it seems like they executed it with precision.

The parents also put the principal and school district on notice of what they’ll be sued for if they don’t execute the IEP.

Overloaded educator. Unqualified educator. Educator Absenteeism. Difficulties finding Qualified assistant or replacement educators. All these “circumstances” are simply pretext for discrimination.

The school must educate the student properly or else pay for their education elsewhere. This would have been a proper response from the principal to the parents.
