[QUOTE="slsh, post: 141397, member: 8"] Jennifer - I think you want to go IEP (at least that's the impression I've always gotten from Martie and Sheila). I would be surprised if SD took your evaluations' recommendations very seriously - but I have been known to be a cynic. ;) However, by *law* they do have to consider them, so do not let them brush recommendations aside. Has the SD done any evaluations at all? If not, they need to. I don't recall - have you requested a full educational evaluation on her by the SD? I'm a bit tired tonight but I'm thinking that they have to do evaluations even to decide on 504, but don't quote me on that one. I would definitely fight the recess battle. I'm a softie but I think *all* kids need that down time during the school day - especially difficult children. It's a break and it's also a time to work on socializing. If she's not able to complete the work in allotted time due to focus issues, I would think it would be reasonable to ask for extra time (not recess time) or perhaps shorter assignments. In my mind, at age 8, homework is to help with mastery of skills. For example, my kids have always had to write vocabulary words 10 times if they don't get 100 on the pretest - including the words they got right. Not a battle I would fight with a difficult child - just write the incorrect words. If you're having homework wars, I'd definitely see if the quantity could be modified - especially if she's getting the concepts. Good luck - will be sending positive warrior vibes your way. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
