My difficult child has failed gym twice now. Last summer she could not take it due to having to take 2 other classes in summer school. This summer the new principal is not offering it to students that are not seniors that missed their graudation because of gym class - and they will get their diploma in August.
This means next year she has to take 3 gym classes. That is bordering on emotional abuse as far as I am concerned. She fails because she does not go as it is. I just found this out by the way. Nobody ever called to tell me this.
Is there anything on an IEP that I can have added that will allow for alternative physical education? I am not trying to get her out of gym, she should have to take it (and could use it- a bit overweight). But, 3 classes? That means every day and sometimes twice a day! She will have the most major meltdown ever!!!!!!
