[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 577905, member: 8831"] (i know this should probably be in the spEd forum, but this gets more traffic) can anyone tell me some reasons why one might opt to forgo a triennal evaluation?? iep meeting today--and that was the "big issue"....and they were h$ll bent on convincing me to waive. but yet, could provide no valid reason why i would want to, except to say that the next after this will likely be the last, so nows the time to waive. i took it all as a colossal sign of laziness and not wanting to spend the money.....and this was coming from the same people who wanted to make all the accoms in the world for the "state testing"...you know, the one that benefits THEM, not my kid. she even got "picked" yet again for an extra component of the "state testing" so they reallllllly wanted to make sure they had their ducks in a row---their answer to this was that it might "affect placement" so we want to give her the best possible shot (umm, no, it [I]wont[/I], she scores very, very *high* compared to rest of your student body, so unless you want to place her in your gifted program with support, oh, not an option?). in our particular case, last triennal was during a pretty unstable period--now that we have relative stability, i would think it would BE the time. i cant think of a single good reason why anyone would waive, unless they had it done privately recently (we didnt). of course i politely refused :bigsmile: [/QUOTE]
