More than once, the response to not giving an accommodation is "I didn't want to short-change him." I can not tell you how offensive I found that. As if I want to "shortchange my son." As if my wanting him to have access to education is really just me wanting him to be disabled or causing his disability. I can tell you, I think I have heard every excuse as to why a teacher doesn't want to give a needed accommodation. Don't let them put you off with responses and justifications like that.
