[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 333322, member: 1991"] Shari, how much input has the teacher had into this plan? Because so often the person who actually has to enforce it, doesn't get much of a say. Either that, or she has no real idea of how she's going to enforce it and is hoping that by having something in writing, it will reassure you sufficiently. How much input do YOU have? You should have considerable input. I used to find that if I ensured some practical suggestions in the event that the plan that was presented seemed doomed to fail, my ideas were listened to. For a while I could suggest but would often be over-ridden. But my suggestions were on file and eventually when everything else failed, I would raise them again and say, "We've now tried everything your way. I believe that if you do X you may find better success. With all the problems, I do not feel X will increase your already considerable workload. Hopefully it should reduce it." The two points they will respond to are workload, and cost. If what they propose is likely to increase their workload, they will resist implementing it. However, if you can demonstrate that NOT implementing it will make for a much bigger workload further down the track, you might get heard. Good luck with this one! Marg [/QUOTE]
