Sure. But at least "a note from the doctor" is more...respectable?...arguable?...I dunno.
I wasn't suggesting that Mama22Gs should request complete individualization. "More individualized" isn't the same as "Completely individualized." Of course I agree that a personally tailored curriculum is unrealistic and, under the circumstances M22Gs describes, is almost certainly completely out of reach. But I don't think that's what the report is requesting.
I do think the report suggests specific, simple solutions that are not hard to implement. "Write down the directions?" That's not hard or terribly time consuming. His K teacher did it, so I know it can be done without undue burden. "Give him graphs and maps?" They work on that in 1st grade anyway. Maybe a teacher would be persuaded to do a bit more of that if she read this report. I don't see that sort of thing as being terribly impractical or providing any undue burdens on the school.
If you do, then I guess I'd suggest that you keep in mind that the psych knew I was homeschooling, so the report was tailored to that end. I wouldn't expect the school to do work with Transformers just for my child, for example. That is too much! But at home, I could. She knew that. I doubt she'd have included that if she thought the report was going to a school.
And, of course, just because the report suggests it doesn't mean that the school has to do it. It's there, but the school can say "No" and the parent can choose to accept that "No." Of course you have to pick your battles.
I guess I'm rather surprised at how negative you sound about this report, Dottie...
