Actually...I don't know how I'd feel either. Actually, I don't think I'd like it. Jonathan is making all kinds of spelling, punctuation and capitalization errors...or "C" level work. However, all his IQ and performance testing says he should be "high average or better."<br /><br />The school is willing to keep passing him on, until he's trying to get a job and the employer is not impressed by the job application or resume full of errors.<br /><br />IDEA is about specially designed instruction to remediate and not to continue accepting low expectations that our kids were getting for years.<br /><br />Sorry, I'll get down from my soap box now. <br /><br />If you feel that's the best he can do, then you are correct in accepting. If not, then go ahead and fight.Corrie Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02107352260276921770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-14553761707905216442009-12-19T01:12:09.370-05:002009-12-19T01:12:09.370-05:00Modifications can make all the difference.

Most are brilliant. Just need to approach things differently.<br /><br />Sorry to just jump in.

What I don't love is that my school district doesn't know how to educate her and so they devise a 'modified curriculum'.Ashley's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621835327282616218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-79169278486186931002009-12-17T08:29:43.905-05:002009-12-17T08:29:43.905-05:00Exactly, mama edge.

Until high school, it doesn't matter, and modifications now can make all the difference.<br /><br />I don't expect either of my sons to receive a regular ed diploma, and I'm okay with that. (Like I'd be okay with Godzilla living in my backyard. It would sorta suck, but I'd get used to it eventually).mama edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16434016248126809607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-8140191701780690272009-12-16T20:32:50.873-05:002009-12-16T20:32:50.873-05:00Haha- maybe I didn't post clearly, as you were...Haha- maybe I didn't post clearly, as you weren't the first person to think he did well. <br /><br />He did do well in some areas, but is basically performing below grade level as a whole.<br /><br />It's not that he isn't smart, because he is, it's his frustration level, and that he wants to learn things on his terms.mommy~dearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851309941513538983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-24057340506516730192009-12-16T18:42:29.789-05:002009-12-16T18:42:29.789-05:00So glad to hear thar Jaysen did well!

And just think, it may be modified curriculum right now.... but wait till he whizzes by everyone and starts calling out the teachers for getting something wrong!
