It's so crazy-making sometimes. He had a sub in math today, and the task was to copy a test from the board and then take the test. He took so long copying the problems that by the time he was ready to take the test it was time to copy his homework problems from the board. The sub informed my son he was getting a zero on the test, because he didn't answer the problems. Sigh. So yet another round of emails to get that addressed. I realize the sub has no clue about IEP's, etc., but the sub should also not be telling the students what will happen to them in situations they don't understand, either. My son came home quite upset until he understood that the sub was completely wrong.
You know, I think thats malarkey. If a sub took peanuts in the classroom and an allergic kid had a reaction, there would be a HUGE problem. When I take my Girl Scouts somewhere, I NEED to know that so and so is actually allergic to KIWIS or some unusal thing like that. I don't see how being a SUB would release him/her from the obligation of following your son's IEP. Not to mention, have they ever done a test that way before? Surely the REGULAR teacher, who is familiar with your son's needs wouldn't have expected that? That would be a violation of the IEP, right? I wonder if the teacher TOLD the sub to do it that way?
