[QUOTE="keista, post: 454540, member: 11965"] Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm glad my snarkyness meets board approval. :) But yes, I will pull that out. [B]Andy[/B] they think it's OK to wait a week now because Friday was a GOOD day and he participated, so something must have gotten fixed. Yes it did, but they have NO CLUE what that is. I don't think I can risk waiting for a meeting to get scheduled. Well, I can, but son can't. The longer he goes with such roadblocks, the more habitual it becomes, and then even identified "fixes" stop working. [B]DDD[/B], just like above, there's no time to communicate via registered mail. I can place all emails in his record anyway. The drawback (but can be a plus in some situations) is that ALL the emails are subject to the public records laws. His IEP is pretty much a joke, and almost impossible to write one trying to predict all issues that may come up, since the staff hasn't even managed to come up with solutions to his most basic chronic issues - getting and handing in assignments. The good news is that things are usually worked out with each individual teacher, and GENERALLY things work out well. There are still some roadblocks that I can't figure out, and staff either doesn't try or just hasn't managed to figure out either - his problems with math and keyboarding are two examples. It doesn't help that the school is on something called a block schedule. There are only 4 periods to each day instead of they typical 8. Your typical year long classes are only 1/2 a year and 1/2 year classes are just one term. It is actually quite nice since the kids only have to focus on 4 classes at a time, but it's also like having 2 school years in one with the change in classes. [/QUOTE]
