[QUOTE="bzymomto4, post: 113666, member: 4477"] This is so disappointing. All I hear from all sources is public schools are all about a fight. They can only educate the perfect child. I know very few perfect children. More and more it has become apparent to me that our public schools are the least educated of all in relation to variations in child development. Today we recieved a letter in the mail from the district saying we never had any Learning Disability (LD) testing done. Dispite the 30 page document outling the neuropsychologist testing done this fall. The school guidence counsler said it was a better idea to have the testing done privately because it could be done much quicker. The school psychologist said the testing was more complete than anything she had ever seen. She noted a previously unrecognized reading Learning Disability (LD) as well as his adhd. They made some adjustments, but said the school had no obligation to make sure a child with such a high IQ preform well. They only had to preform ok, therefore his IQ would disqualify him from an iep. We are now on 2 years of straight f's. These people really infuriate me. I am not giving them anymore time. difficult child now has friends who are beginning to drop out of school and I need to get him into a theraputic environment to get back on track before he follows along. Based on what you have said I now am trying to think about how to get an iep for my daughter before she leaves elementary school next year. She is tough, she has an anxiety disorder with mood swings I am sure we will pay for during puberty. She also has a fluctuating hearing loss due to chronic ear infections. It is significant enough that she needs a FM system to hear in class. Her teacher had identified attention issues, but they are currently being dismissed as hearing issues. My daughter is in 3rd grade and still has a great deal of difficulty with reading and spelling. I have helped her with a couple of book reports this year and she totally misses the point of the story. Until recently I have always tried to us the school as a rescource and wanted so much to believe they had my child's best interests in mind. [/QUOTE]
