OT--Special Education /IEP

02/08/12 04:21 PM

My daughter is in 5th grade and in special ed for math (she used to be in for reading too, but she moved out of that last year). In math, she is on a 2-3 grade level. Her regular teacher (this is her first year teaching) I feel is giving her excessive math work (right now it's fractions and all the junk that goes with that)...2 pages a night. DD is not getting it (hasn't been getting it)...and we have tried everything we know of to teach her how to do this math work...we basically have to do it for her (it's THAT bad). We've tried sending the homework back to school uncompleted with an explanation that she can not do the work...it's way beyond her skill level right now. She gets zeros. Then I complained about the zeros, so the teacher will give her a zero and then a modified grade of 80....no matter what. I'm just at a loss as what to do now. She is spending HOURS on just 2 pages of math...and then we have to wind up giving her the answers anyway.

Is this right? We've never had this problem before. DD is also having other problems with this teacher...and it's to the point where I almost feel like the teacher is picking on her (if what my DD says is right). All of a sudden she is having "social" problems and they want to put her in a social class in resource. Um really? NO. She has come home in tears because she feels the teacher picks on her. I'm not sure if the teacher is singling her out (my daughter does exaggerate sometimes) or not. I don't think she has any experience dealing with ADHD students.

Anyway...I'm not sure what to do about the math work. She's just not getting it. We recently had an IEP meeting (me via phone) and I told everyone the problem...all the teacher could say was there is a math program on the internet that may help (it doesn't). Since the meeting, DD's been getting 2 pages of math work a night whereas it was one page before. Oh, this teacher will be gone next month (she is a sub...since the beginning of the year while the regular teacher had a baby). If things improve next month with DD, then i will know it is the teacher.

Advice?
