[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the fact that you are participating in IEP meetings makes me think you are a gatekeeper whose job it is to say no to accommodations. No wonder you hate us, we're trying to do whats best for our kids.[/quote]

Any teacher of your child can be called on to participate in an IEP meeting. At most schools, we must take a turn doing 8-10 Annual Review or screening meetings a year. I end up doing many more than that because of the nature of what I teach and the special program at my school. I've actually only ever questioned two accommodations in a decade. A mom wanted to limit the use of the color red because her son found it disturbing. A different child's father wanted an extended time accommodation for the class warmups that meant no one could respond verbally to the warmup until his son finished. I couldn't take 15 class minutes for a warmup.

And I don't hate you. I think you have a huge challenge and helping you help your kid doesn't mean humoring you. [/quote]
