[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The folks who are upset with MCPS teachers are now seeing what parents of children with IEPs have seen their entire school career in MCPS - lackluster effort from admin all the way down to paras and yes teachers. Oh, unless you are an MCPS employee - then your IEP kid gets the world.  Hope this will force some change.  Doubt it - but now the rest of you are seeing what we found on day one.  You are just catching up to the culture of MCPS.[/quote]

They don't implement IEP. We are past ES age, but my neighbors have kids in Bayard Rustin ES. I was horrifed by the what they told me about IEP implementation for one of thier child who has special needs. Even some basic requirement doesn't get implemented despite having 20 pages of details in IEP. Staffs are nice to talk and all that, but it's useless if kids in desperate need don't get help.

Having said that, I don't think that current situation allows teachers to do much. Many of them will have kids at home. It's not a good situation for anyone. [/quote]

Do you know long it takes to complete 20 pages of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and then go over every little box on the IEP during meetings that can take hours? It doesn't leave time to then teach students or go around to make sure everything is implemented. There should be one teacher just in charge of all the paperwork or there needs to be a reduction in the amount if osier work so special Ed. teachers can teach. So many special Ed teachers leave teaching or beg teach gen Ed because of all the paperwork.[/quote]
