Oh that is priceless. I like Joyce’s suggestion.
The thing that is scary is that we know better, but think of all the parents don’t know the rules. Truly frightening.

This is Joyce. I would put a sticky back gold star in an envelope and send it in with a little note stating, “I would feel so bad if you didn’t get a gold star, so I’ve enclosed one for you to wear all week. As soon as I’ve had time for all the appropriate and necessary outside entities to review said IEP, I’ll get back to you.” I truly cannot believe all the IEP stories I’ve heard over the years. The sad thing is it spreads across the country. Good luck.

But we know that our patient & ever-so-tactful Amy is armed with the knowledge that the IEP tool is built without regard to arbitrary deadlines of administrators’ calendars versus the needs of an individual student.
