[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 5419, member: 23"] Good to hear things are going so well in your classroom. I agree that actual age/grade has little to do with what we can realistically expect of some of our kids. Intentionally throwing away notes is certainly a no-no and begs an answer as to "why is he doing this?" Assuming throwing it away is intentional, more investigation may be in order to determine what is causing this behavior. What I mean is that if this behavior is out of character for this student, it could be that this class is just so difficult that additional accommodations, treatment or a different placement may need to be considered by his IEP Committee. (lower grade level needed, tutoring, 1:1 coach, re-evaluate for a math Learning Disability (LD), perhaps math classes cause a lot anxiety or is too overwhelming, etc.?) I've learned not to assume answers to these type problems are "just because he wants to." One place to start might also be to find out whether other documents of this type from other classes are making it home? Presently it sounds like there is no other means available for getting the notes to mom, so she'll just have to pick one of the options available until the root problems can be determined. [/QUOTE]
