[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 185661, member: 4845"] If a child on an IEP does not pass for the year then the responsiblity falls on the school, what didn't they do to help your child succeed. If tests and homework were problems they should have been problem solving it all year to make sure your child was as successful as possible. Similarly, if your difficult child was struggling with class work then the school should have been looking into why that was and making accomodations to assist her with learning the material. You can have all of those things written into the IEP. Such as homework is requested each day by the teacher/aid. That's not all that difficult to implement. My difficult child is going into 4th grade and she has one classroom, and two teachers plus a Special Education teacher, but they all teach together and in the same space. My difficult child is pulled out for reading, writing, and math by the same Special Education teacher so that there are fewer distractions. If a forth grader is just filling in answers in a test, then there is probably a reason for that that needs to be addressed. Perhaps she has trouble staying on task, or tracking her answers, or get distracted or it's the visual issues with a test. My difficult child has had to have some tests broken down to the point of each question having it's own page. And you know what she can do the work correctly that way. And if that many teacher is too overwhelming then that is something else to bring to the IEP team meeting. They are legally obilgated to provide your child with an environment that your child can learn in--it's call a Free and Appropriate Public Education. Appropriate is the key word. As for the 5th grade teachers, they (and all teachers through college) have to have flexiblity if it is written in a students IEP/504plan or the child is disabled in some other way. I disagree with retention unless it's in Kindergarten due to the lasting social implications, but that a call that you have to make. However, I would put the onis on the school. It is thier responsiblity to teach your child in a way that your child can learn and be successful. in my opinion, they have done a terrible disservice to your child by not making simple accomodations for homework and tests and by not addressing difficult child's struggle with the material.
