sittin pretty DH and I have actually thought about that course of action - I have found out in the last 2 weeks that there are quite a few other parents with 2e children that pulled out from this school for the same reasons we are about to. All children must work on the same level, how dare you be different, they are one of the top "performering" schools on the FCAT in the county
(gee, wow, woopie)...is the basic premise for the upper management. We did have an advocate come with us to our giant IEP meeting 2 weeks ago and she was blindsided with the fact that they just did massive changes to how an IEP is written up - the meeting turned into a waste of time and as we were walking out together she told me that there was no way he was going to get anything out of this school and that if we were going to get any kind of help it would be through kicking and screaming all the way and did we really want to deal with that. The speech teacher tried really hard to speak up for him, the OT is very wishy washy and we asked for the gifted teacher to attend the IEP meeting but she was no where to be found and we have asked 2 different times now about please consulting with the gifted teacher on how to help meet his needs and they still have yet to....so in my mind we are done- having to differentiate and actually stray from the liteny of workbooks and canned lectures is just too much to ask of them. We are just now trying to move onto the next step to try and build our little guy back up and keep him excited about learning! It's amazing how much damage can occur in just 2 weeks of school to a very over-sensitive kid.
