On observing... I've already been told that observing isn't allowed. Which is a bunch of malarky, but I don't really need it. I know that he isn't being challenged in certain areas just from talking with him and from being a teacher. He doesn't seem to mind though.
And I'm with making it legal. Without the IEP the teachers just don't take it seriously.
So if he doesn't mind and I can supplement at home, do I just drop it for the year and try to push some more next year? I already got a 'No, you can't put other stuff in the IEP' from the head of special ed at the state level. So if I'm going to fight more, it's going to get complicated. I don't want to cut off my nose to spite my face so to speak.
