[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a disaster. My kid's 504 plan stipulates that he'll get preferential seating next to high-achieving kids.  Seating him next to other ADHD kids would be a nightmare. [/quote]

Wait, what??? Come back to that accommodation: preferential seating next to [i]high achieving kids[/i].

I do not believe this. How could you enforce this without revealing protected information about another student? Let’s say you go to the school to say the 504 is not being followed because your little Pierpont has been seated next to Larlo who you think is not very bright. Are you expecting the school to prove that Larlo really is high achieving to defend themselves against your accusation of not following the 504???

Preferential seating near the teacher is an accommodation. But preferential seating near a particular student? Yeah, no. [/quote]

Well, this really is not enforceable. It’s a 504 for one, which have been abused so much (case in point) that they’re functionally useless. But also, there is no legal standing for ANOTHER student to be the source of the accommodation to support a student. None. As a teacher, I would not absolutely have  pushed back on this in the team meeting. As it is, I doubt many of the teachers are actually following it as it’s not ethical. [/quote]How are 504s being abused? People are faking it?[/quote]

They’re getting ridiculous accommodations in them like the PP or they’re trying to essentially game them into being IEPs and acting as if they have the same legal bearing as an IEP, which they do not. [/quote]
