My son who also is a junior very rarely turns in homework,even when he spends hours working on it. He has a 504 not an IEP. This has also been a problem for him since the early grade school years. We have tried the tutor route to help him get organized and do his homework. He too is very bright and if the grade is based on class work and tests he gets As. It is the most maddening thing. I was told if he had an IEP(he in their eyes does not qualify), we could request services that would involve a teacher or aide following through with him on his homework. I have also heard of people who have the IEP state that homework is not factored into his grade and all grades are based on classwork and test scores. The only thing with a 504 that have worked for us is to have a directed study hall everyday. I think you have teeth with that IEP and I would demand a solution, even if it means not signing the IEP until they find a satisfactory answer for your daughter. The website www.wrightslaw.com has been very helpful for me in understanding things. I wish you luck and strength today!!
