We have found this to be the case.  [/quote]

+1 My child cannot turn in assignments on time and falls behind every marking period but with exemptions he still has As and Bs. The IEP is a joke and they aren’t teaching him the skills he needs to meet his goals and objectives. [/quote]

My youngest gets P++ on everything!![/quote]

When I was going through the evaluation process with my oldest child, her teacher told me after school that the principal was threatening her job if she didn’t fill out the teacher report in such a way so the school could deny educational impact. She was sorry but thought the only way to get my daughter through the process was an outside evaluation and private services. The teacher transferred the following year.

The top priority in MCPS is not educating students. [/quote]

Reading between the lines she sounds like someone who wasn't capable of navigating the system and failed her students.[/quote]

The principal was a bully and good teachers left in droves. The teacher was young, scared by the threat, and did not have tenure. She was one of the teachers who left. She was a good teacher but she needed her job. So yes, she failed the students with disabilities that the principal did not want to have special education services.[/quote]
