You say you got him tested so I take it that was outside the school system? In our system testing outside the system does not mean anything. The school psychologist has to test the child and see where they are with the school testing. If this has not been done I would write a note requesting the school psychologist test him for Math, IQ and other things. They have I believe 60 days to get the testing done. That is what qualifies him for an IEP and what is required to be repeated every three years to show improvement or not. They can not dismiss the IEP if they do not test and show he has improved and is at grade level. It is not based on the teachers or coordinators opinion of how he is doing based on his grades. A child can have an IEP and get A's and B's in the class but that has nothing to do with his needs and meeting them. Just because he is behind the class does not mean he should get bad grades and not pass tests.
I am kind of confused as to where you are coming from with all of this because what you are saying does not follow the laws and what an IEP, grades, and being behind is all about.
Also because one kid passed a test in social studies while every other kid failed it so the teacher retested them all and that was cheating? There is nothing wrong with a teacher seeing that the whole class did not understand the material taught based on the tesing so she goes back over the material to make sure they understand and then test them again to make sure they got it. What would be wrong is to allow the whole class, minus one kid, get F's and just move on to the next topic without them learning the lesson.
As for extra worksheets to help a child boost their grade is not a bad thing because through those worksheets a child is learning things they need to know. It's not like the kid gets and F so the teacher chooses to change it to a B just because she doesn't want a kid to fail her class to make her look bad. She is giving the child another chance to learn more and giving them a grade for it based on what their work on that particular worksheet, what is wrong with that?
If you want your child to get bad grades just because he has a learning difference that is not good and I don't think the teachers would be right to purposely give your child lower grades because you want it that way. That is the way this is coming across anyway but forgive me if I am reading something in it that you do not mean. I would be more concerned if my child were getting a bad grade that they were not teaching him what he needs to know in the class because he is not grasping it as represented by the bad grade.[/QUOTE What I am trying to say is that I think he is being given to much help on his math tests, almost to the point of being given the answers.I want the grades on his math tests to reflect what he really knows.Also I never once said anything about cheating.I mentioned the bonus work and test retaking only to point out these end up boosting low test scores.He will take the state test in the spring and I hope his score shows he really has improved as much as these current tests imply.
