[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 534938, member: 8831"] i think too that with all the "mandated assignments" something was lost in translation that developmentally, some things are beyond the scope of the grade level....and teachers are kind of "stuck" assigning things that are completely unappropriate. i'm in the camp that honestly, that is a massive assignment for an 11 year old...all of them, not just a difficult child. we had a similar situation with a college level assignment in the 7th grade--i complained to the school and demanded mods be made (mine does have an IEP so it was different). like you, i think *I* was more overwhelmed than difficult child herself. the teacher was very nice and did admit it was beyond the scope of her entire class, not just mine. we went to the district head of the dept and asked what we could do to modify it and by the time it was all said and done, the actual assigment (for everyone) looked nothing like the original one--it was much more reasonable. i was glad i spoke up. but my point is, i do think sometimes teachers lose sight of what the actual capabilities of students are....which is why i said earlier, i wouldnt have thought twice about typing since the work was done. hope it all goes fast for you....what a lousy thing to have to do on a holiday weekend!
