[QUOTE="keista, post: 454718, member: 11965"] Thanks for all the input. I've finally gotten all the *snarky* out of my system. Added a paragraph stating that waiting a week is not an option. Also added questions about homework - supposedly he hasn't had any yet - and segwayed into requesting a homework accommodation being put into his IEP. I pulled out most of the NOTs that are in all caps. closed by saying "If we work together and keep communicating we can help J be successful in his school career and beyond" [B]DDD[/B], I've come to love block. Even with it's drawbacks I think it is better for IEP kids than the standard 8 periods. [B]Andy[/B], the school offers such accomodations for son, they just aren't appropriate for him. It's really tough to explain. His big problem is that if he's not confident enough with something to do it right, then he won't do it at all. Right now he's doing geometry and doing just fine, but he hasn't completed his Algebra summer school course (he got a D and was going for grade forgiveness) Despite getting a D in Algebra, he got VERY high marks on the state testing. It's not that he can't do the work, he WON'T do it, and I'm still trying to figure out why. Same with keyboarding. He refuses to try because trying means making mistakes, and to him, that is a fate worse than death! [B]Susie[/B], thanks for the heads up/reminder. Fortunately this school isn't so crazed about IEP kids advocating for themselves. They do try to encourage them to do so, but parental involvement is not blocked. [B]Liahona[/B], 10Q I always have had a knack for picking up on the subtleties of human nature/behavior. I don't always understand it or have a solution for it, but can identify it. [/QUOTE]
