Anyway, I didn't bother to fight at the IEP meeting. I tried but looks started and they gang up on me and I get tired of feeling like I am the only one who sees what is happeneing with DS. It's like talking to brick wall talking to his teacher about this. If he is miserable outside of writing activities then she insists his being miserable can't possibly be related increased wiring. Uh, okay. They throw around phrases like that I "short-change" DS and "enable" his disability.
I have taken on the method often employed by DH and my inlaws, which is not me - but I do see the beauty in it. I smile, nod, act like I see their point and back dwon from the confrontation. Then, I went home and wrote to them basically saying we refuse to sign the IEP until the accommodations are put back. I wrote yet another well-laid argument in an email substantiating why the accommodations are necessary. Hopefully, I won't have to argue as much again - I just had these arguments with them 5 months ago! Do they think his hypotonia has suddenly been cured in 5 months??? Seriously???? I am really really disappointed in them. It just seemed sneaky and underhanded of them.
