[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 30 students in each of my 5 AAP classes. Half of the students don't have the capacity to keep up with the rigor. Therefore, I spend half of my time on test retakes and remediation, along with administrative babysitting of 2E, ADHD, 504, underperforming students.

Now remember this is supposed to be an Advanced class.

But I willingly sign homework sheets, check pencil boxes, provide one-to-one attention, stay after the school and ungrateful and unforgiving parents just want to bulldoze me daily. [/quote]

What about the 2E students who can keep up if you administered their accommodations appropriately? That was always my DC's issue.  He was able to understand the curriculum fabulously.  It was ignorant teachers who restricted his accommodations and thus his ability to access the curriculum that were the roadblocks.  Luckily, most of his teachers were not of that sort. [/quote]
Teachers don’t wont to make the accommodations at all is what teacher is saying.  But the schools should have extra teachers who go around to classrooms with this sort of child to assist teachers in making these accommodations. It is the Principal’s responsibility.

Certain Principal’s don’t want to prioritize this sort of thing which makes the work harder for the teachers and this causes the nightmare.  [/quote] the accommodations my DC received did not require an additional teacher in the classroom. Priority seating- in front but near a plug for his laptop, use of laptop to fill out worksheets, use of simple calculator, and teacher notes. Teacher notes was the only “extra” and almost already had them done, it was just a matter of sending them to my DC. His electronic textbooks were done by his case manager, his copies of software programs like Kurzweil were provided by ATS. For assessments he went to the Special Ed office and they provided the scribe and reader, the only thing the teacher had to do was notify the the special ed office ahead of time so there was someone there.  [/quote]which school provided you this support?[/quote] McLean willingly and Longfellow begrudgingly[/quote]seems as though you have a much much better chance of getting support in that area of the county[/quote] If I had left it to chance, it would not have happened.  Plus, there are other parts of the county that have done better, as they offer team taught Honors- something that would have helped many other children in our pyramid. [/quote]
