Annual Review Time!

I had IEP meetings all day today. One parent thought they knew the law, and wanted to argue for every special ed service imaginable enabling less responsibility for their child. Another parent wasn't at the meeting, and her son has been doing so well. He was falsely placed in Special Ed, and falsely placed in pathways (program for mentally disturbed students). We joked that he probably hit a white kid somewhere along the line and was forever labeled. Although his parent wasn't there to fight for him, we have him on track to leave special ed. So today has been quite a learning experience.
