[QUOTE="klmno, post: 71830, member: 3699"] I haven't read all the details in each of these posts, however, my difficult child was in a similar situation with his classes and after a couple of discussions with school personnel re. advanced placement in math, I called the district head of the math dept. and asked if there was any reason my difficult child couldn't be in advanced math just because he's on an IEP. Of course, he said no and after I gave him the reasons why it was clear my difficult child belonged in the class, he told me to discuss it with the principal one more time and then call him back if she hadn't allowed it. Oddly enough, the next talk with the principal quickly resulted in my signature on a "parent over-ride" for the class, which means that's all it took to get him in that class, the course number was changed on his IEP and it was a done deal. She voluntarily brought me the over-ride form this year and we did the same thing. I noticed your principal is not on your side, but I'm wondering if you still couldn't go to the guidance dept. and asked for an over-ride form and/or call the district head for the science dept. by the way, I worded things to make it obvious that my opinion was that it would not be an adequate education if difficult child was not allowed the same opportunity to be educated on a level appropriate for his abilities and it would be discrimination if this opportunity was offered to other students who don't have disabilities. I hope this helps!! [/QUOTE]
