[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 124595, member: 289"] I believe you are right that she didn't intend to send the email to you. However, she did and that gives you a heads up as to what may happen at the IEP meeting she is going to call. What irritates me is when teachers and administrators say they have gone "above and beyond". For two reasons; one, if it is in the IEP and you are doing it then it isn't above and beyond what is required or expected to help difficult child receive a FAPE in the LRE; and two, that is why we have the IDEA...to outline what services and supports that difficult child needs to be able to gain an appropriate education...if that means they had to do more for your difficult child than some other student...it still is not "ABOVE and BEYOND". When I hear those words I assume the person stating them doesn't understand what above and beyond would be. That would be doing something that is successful without having to be "made to". It seems strange that on a daily basis SDs provide services such as ESL, but they do not consider this "above and beyond". It seems it is only considered above and beyond when they either don't want to implement an IEP correctly, and then consider the failure of difficult child to improve behaviors is his fault alone. The way I see it, there is no way to go above and beyond if all you have done is made sure a child is able to gain social and academic skills. OK, off my soapbox now, but it really does irk me when anybody within a SD uses those words. Hugs to you. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
