[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 513072, member: 8831"] (thanks buddy!) ::WHEW:: @whatamess. i seriously thought you must have hit the jackpot, lol, if that was actually what you were getting. there would CERTAINLY be the I in my district for ESY....here's what it would look like: mine would be sitting in a corner, quietly doing worksheet after worksheet on things like algebriac equations, the periodic table, umm, they probably have her do a thesis on some obscure albert camus literature....in line with "her goals and IEP". and on the whole, she'd probably do so, with the occasional meltdown of the injustice of it all and exhaustion of doing busywork at 7am on a summer morning. everyone else would be having a lesson on the days of the week, colors, maybe some basic reading skills. and why, there would be socialization! just by the very nature of being part of a group--no matter if that group has any social skills themselves and would be primarily made up of boys and bodily function humor, to which she would :rolleyes: and talk to no one anyway. (but Individual! there would be socializing on occasion!--and what USUALLY happens is that mine ends up being a teacher to one kid, or very often, the whole class--one teacher bragged she got her pos. assessment raise from the day *MY KID* taught the class) and THERE WOULD BE FIELD TRIPS! there would be a FIELD TRIP to the supermarket to learn how to buy something. there would be a FIELD TRIP to the public library for story hour and maybe get library cards (mine got hers at 4). but they would SAY, well, the work is appropriate to her level (Individualized), and there is community involvement! (wildly unappropriate!) and then there would be, but LOOK, she still has meltdowns (triggered by your azzinine program!). and she'd be home by 11ish. so while i absolutely agree that ESY is a necessity for some kids with weakness--and buddy's deaf pop is a great example of an otherwise typical pop that needs extended services)...not so much for mine. as for the letter of the law, lmao...i'd be fighting that battle in court for so long that even *IF* i won (see above, doubtful), she'd receive compensatory services around 40. this is a district that pulled Occupational Therapist (OT) for a dysgraphic student because she "sometimes can".... i'd rather take my chances at the beach this summer--she can squeeze wet sand to work on Occupational Therapist (OT), read seventeen and orally summarize the lastest articles, and not to worry anything but her ice cream cone "melting down" :its_all_good: [/QUOTE]
