[QUOTE="slsh, post: 497357, member: 8"] DF - does she have an IEP (I forget, sorry)? If so, I'd bet that's it. I remember when thank you was getting virtually straight A's at one point.:nonono: I queried the teacher on how this was mathematically possible. Apparently the policy in his self-contained classroom was that the students were graded on what they turned in. So the fact that he refused to do 95% of the work didn't matter because whatever he decided [B]to[/B] do, he got As on. Un-hunh, yes, excellent reasoning. When I pointed out that life didn't work that way and he should be graded on what he was supposed to be doing, I was informed bluntly that he obviously had the "potential" and couldn't/shouldn't be flunked just because he refused to do anything. An IEP mtg I will never forget - should have had the de-de-de-do de-de-de-do Twilight Zone theme playing in the background, LOL. I have to agree that I think (cynically) that the real purpose behind this junk is to get the kids passed on through and out of the SDs ASAP. But, again, I'm a terminal cynic. :winking: [/QUOTE]
