[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 35913, member: 1991"] It is not HIS fault that these plans were not followed. However, if they choose to shadow him during recess, that is another matter. Frankly, it sounds like he needs shadowing as a routine. They are still getting it wrong, by the sound of it. What worries me more, is if they think that failure to follow the various plans is going to be HIS fault, on a regular basis? Like, "Oh dear, he left the room without supervision AGAIN, because Mrs W was still talking to Mr K when the class was dismissed. We'll have to put him on detention if he does it again." Or, a variant that we actually experienced - difficult child 1 was supposed to have his teachers either write his homework in his diary for him, or supervise him doing it and check the diary to see it was done. But one teacher handed out a major assignment notice on a SCRAP of paper (not even a full sheet) without explaining what the paper was for. Of course, once away from the classroom and distracted, he glanced at the paper, couldn't work out what it was and so threw it away. The teacher later penalised him for failing to do his assignment. The school's argument was that he should have had the maturity and responsibility for himself to write it all down in his diary without support. "How is he ever going to cope in the big wide world after school, if we coddle him now?" The whole point was, we knew he WOULDN'T cope, for the first few years. He simply didn't have the maturity to do these things for himself. Schools should help these kids, regardless of their own personal feelings on the matter. Especially if a student has an IEP in place - this is a legal agreement between the school, the student and the parents, for the school to meet the student's needs as specifically described. There should be no "If Johnny does x, we'll then do y" in it, the school should be saying, "Johnny can't do x by himself yet, so we'll help him do it, under supervision. If we fail to help him, we are in breach of our IEP agreement." Some schools take a bit longer to understand that it is twisted THIS way, and not the other, where the student takes the fall for failing to comply. Marg [/QUOTE]
