[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember parents: you can request an IEE for free if you don't like the quality of the school evals. You don't have to give a reason why you're requesting it. Just email the principal and copy the central office that you are requesting one. They are free. [/quote]

My response to this comment was deleted. This board is heavily censored if a teacher shares the other side of the story, which is a shame and does not benefit anyone.

IEEs are not free. They cost thousands of dollars paid by the school system and tax payors. The intent is so parents have an option if they disagree with school assessments. Most IEES I see, do not follow that intent. Many Parents just want more assessments paid by someone else. Many do abuse the system. Those are facts and stop deleting and censoring school staff.

The fact that you don’t understand or credit why a parent being told by the entity that would be responsible for providing services that there are no appropriate services to be provided, and might want a neutral opinion on the subject, speaks volumes about your general logical abilities.  No, I don’t trust the school to tell me my kid is just too low IQ - not low IQ enough for a certificate program! But low enough to get no services beyond meaningless nothings. And neither would you or any parent invested in their child’s life. Luckily for me I have the resources not to be so bound, and can do it all privately. But for those that don’t - they should fight tooth and nail to figure out how their children can be helped. And for many of these people, they’ve spent the money that they have available buying a house in a good school area, paying  taxes, and filling in all of the gaps that are not funded. The idea that the school shouldn’t be held to an objective standard is utter crap. [/quote]

Schools have to follow special education laws. Schools have to use the required to see if children are eligible for special education services. Your schools and teachers did not draft those guidelines- they are from the department of education. I understand your frustration, but it is not your school team’s fault. It’s not because your school team doesn’t care. [/quote]
