DD is in middle school and goes to a "strategies" class instead of foreign lang. and that's where they check the planner and work on organizational skills. All of those kids are on ieps. I don't think the teachers check planners. If a kid is impaired enough that they aren't doing the work then I think they would write an IEP. (504's are basically useless in my opinion--I think if you try to fight the teachers to check the planner, it will be an uphill battle).
