Thanks viacam. That's my take on it.

It justs sets my fuse off to be told that it's not an official policy and there isn't any wording in the federal or state mandates that says not to write in IEP goals outside of the time spent with the gifted teacher. And yet they won't do it!

I think I'd have at least a 50/50 chance of having them put IEP goals that happen with the regular ed teacher in the plan if I pushed it. I just think it may take years. So I'm just trying to figure out where to spend my energy. Fighting for it to get into the IEP which could take years or fighting for it to get done without it. Maybe one while I'm working on the other.

I was so naive when I started this process thinking he'd get identified and do the IEP and poof, a great education.
