[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 236962, member: 3444"] What I'm understanding is that you are frustrated that his GPA is slipping each year. And that the school seems to be lowering the standard for measuring his success each year, based on test scores for that current year, which have dropped from the year before? If he has a 504 plan, it's not usually set up with measureable goals or achievement targets. At least in my experience, it's been more a document to specify what the school will do to support the student in his education. It doesn't guarantee performance. But if he is slipping in his grades, that should be an oppotunity to request a review of his plan to determine why he is struggling or not performing to the best of his abilities. The school may not have the answers. You may need to consult an outside professional. That's sort of where I'm at with difficult child 1 right now. Trying to find out why he's been struggling in certain areas the past two years so that I can specify what I want the school to do for him in the way of accommodations. It may mean smaller classes or classes that are slower-paced. I could be missing your point altogether, but that's what I'm hearing. [/QUOTE]
