I gave them two weeks to settle in but the GIEP isn't being followed and my son was flat out told by the teacher they were sorry it didn't work out and it wasn't going to be followed. I have a meeting today with the teachers to see how we can brainstorm for a way to arrange for the GIEP to be followed (Differentiation in Reading and Language Arts appears to be happening but acceleration and differentiation in math isn't. When they have their period in the day for interventions for students who need more help, he gets enrichment instead with a few other kids. They did various units of writing, poetry, readers theater and other things last year and that is a happy time for him).
Wish me luck. If it doesn't work out, I know there are several options so I am not terribly upset that it is this or nothing. I am pretty optimistic that everyone wants what is best for him. Additionally, I am pretty sure they don't want to lose his FCAT scores if we have to chose a different placement. He has minor celebrity status at the school (he is outgoing and a really interesting child) and I have volunteered daily except the first two days, so I am well known.
