if both the student's representative (parent/guardian/social worker) and the school's representative (principal/special ed teacher) agree to extend the deadline, then you can extend it.

Talk with the principal immediately. It is completely ridiculous that your child should be left to suffer for the sake of the lowest common denominator. Fight on behalf of your child.

contact the school they should have an office of disabilities (schools vary in the name of the dept thats what my school calls it) for the college he is or will be attending they should be able to recomend a model that other students have found worked well int hat particular class.\n\nthe school may be closed until tuesday for the weekend - many colleges do not open on fridays in the summer.\n\ngoodluck!!

I would say hold them back. First of all what will it accomplish letting them go ahead. They will just have problems in the next grade. That will just lower their self esteem. It also gives them the impression that even if they don't try they will still make it through..Whats the point in that? If you are going to do that just hand them a diploma, and welfare for the rest of their lives.

You've been sick and that explains it.  Typically the 3rd to 5th day are the worst.\n\nJust make sure that you are hydrated by drinking fluids.  Broth is a good option.  Don't force yourself to eat things that you wont be able to keep down.\n\nStay hydrated...  Watch electrolyte balance too (sodium, potasium, etc...).  Typically you'll be fine if you drink water and have broth.\n\nI've seen people in the hospital go for a week without eating anything...  So don't sweat it.  You'll eat when you feel better.\n\nRegards,\nRyan

Depending on your schools rules, you may not get to play at all even if you go back right now.  Here, if you miss 4 hours, you are not allowed to participate in the after school programs that day.  If you really are sick, you won't play at your best either and are setting yourself up for an easy injury by participating.  You'd also risk the chance of getting your team mates sick--do you want to do that?

state your reasoning's for being late....be sincere. Now is not the time to sugar coat the subject...\nGive the child motivational things to help in the "rush" of getting ready on time.\nExpress to the teacher that you understand that so many tardies = out to an absent and that your willing to do a Saturday or after school training time if your school permits....\nThis will show the teacher that even though you were late you do take there class seriously..\nGood luck

Hmmmm..., it sounds like you have a rare case of incurable ear lobe cancer.  You should just quit school and dedicate your remaining time, which may not be long, to helping feed the terminally retarded.

netboy12121, very well put from the students perspective. Very seldom do we see this.  I do work with special needs and individuals with disabilities, and we do try to impliment a normal or close to normal class room atmospher. Educators from k-12 up into the college levels are basically lazy when they have to work with people with special needs.  But guess what? its the law, they must accomidate all students.\n  Check wth your local scholl system and find out who is incharge of their special needs program.  Tell them you want an IEP (individual education program) for your child. By law they must provide this service for you.  If you are unable to find a school or services the meet your needs, contact your local Health and Human Social Service Department. They'll give you all types of information and contacts.  You may also check into your states local DVR (Department of vocational Rehabilitaion) service. Unfortunately there is usally a waiting list for their services, but get on it.  Hope I was able to help.

I believe I would try to go to the doctor and explain that you did have what you thought was a self-diagnosed ear infection and stayed home for two weeks because of it.  It may cost you the price of an office visit but it may be worth it to save your grades.  I would think twice before taking any more time off of school for any reason, even if you feel sick in the future.  Let your teachers see that you are glad to be there and that you are going to be there, regardless.  Maybe if they see you exerting some effort, they will be less likely to request a doctor's note next time.  Good Luck.

If the doctor won't let her leave then he thinks she is in danger. Do not let her out. She needs to remain hospitalized until she is stable and diagnosed. Have them sedate her if need be.

If your child is school aged your first conversation may be with his or her teacher. If the teacher does not feel an evaluation is necessary then you may request one via an IEE (Independent Educational Eval). There are strict federal and state time guide/deadline when it comes to evals and special ed. Make sure you document everything. You may chose to have the Eval done yourself and often insurance will cover it. if you do this then you own the Eval not the school system and you may share it with them or not. however, sharing the info usually benefits the child. you could ask your doctor for a referral or recommendation or call your insurance company. The initial pre-referral and Eval process can be time consuming and is a big learning experience for the parent. The most important thing you can do is to remember that you are your child's best advocate and to advocate well you must educate yourself. Here are some very helpful websites for you: www.wrightslaw.com; www.schwablearning.org; http://www.fcsn.org/index.html (federation for children with special needs); http://www.ldonline.com/. I hope these are helpful. You are not alone and the special needs community is very helpful and supportive. Best of luck.

Stop worrying!! You will make yourself ill again!\n\nThis is possibly not the answer you are wanting but whats the worse that can happen??  The worse thing is that you will get held back nad have to repeat a year.  Nobody is going to put you up against a wall and shoot you.  And nobody would blame you either. You cant help being sick.\n\nI failed a year when I was in high school. My own fault aswell. I just kind of went into lazy mode for a while.  The year passed very quickly and it didnt stop me from getting a degree etc.\n\nPlease stop worrying. Good luck

you can definitely take it off the record.  similar thing happened to my friend who was under severe depression and flunked a class. but after talking to a counselor, he was able to drop the class for medical reasons.  first get a note from the doctors who can vouch that you had a sickness.  then take it to the administrative offices of your school and explain your situation.  i'm sure they can help you out.  good luck man.

report this teacher to the principal or a higher person in the district.  unless they are licensed to in the appropriate field, they have no grounds for making medication recommendations.  this is a serious situation.  but in some cases, some teachers really do know what they are talking about and have had so many students that the signs are obvious and they are just looking for the best interests in their students.  if you have concerns, get the kid tested and take it from there.

I do this for a living, and could give you a dreadfully long answer.  Some considerations are-  Did the school evaluate him/do an IEP?  Has he received a diagnosis from a child psychiatrist?  If so, this may afford some protection as a "special needs" child, which changes the rules for the school.  Even though they may seem autonomous, they aren't.  I would search under special education law, and there may be a public law project in your state that might take the case free of charge.  The same holds true for your daughter.  If she has needed professional help due to school issues, it changes the rules.  Also, inquire of local mental health providers in your state about "wraparound" services, which could send an adult to school with your child each day.  This is how it is in my state, but not in all states.  Good luck.

Try taking the advice given here. Be prepared to march down to the school a lot to try to get this taken care of. Your grandkids CAN learn! Then, if none of that works, consider homeschooling, or have the parents consider homeschooling, whichever is more appropriate. Like some of these teachers said, they are trained to educate regular student, not special children. I know a boy with FAS and a myriad of other diagnoses, and when he was eight years old, he snuck out of a locked campus and was halfway home before his grandma was called and told he was missing. He had walked about five miles. Homeschooling gives you the advantage of knowing your grandson's individual problems. There are so many different types of problems going on in a special ed class, that I don't blame the teacher for being overwhelmed. Most special ed kids excel once they start being taught at home because they are in an environment they know, with loving caregivers who understand the complexities of their own disorders, and are able to work at their own pace. There's no distractions like there are in a classroom. It just seems to work. There are several place you can turn to to learn about homeschooling kids with special needs. Check yahoo groups, there's a lot. I'm on HS-Plus, and it's a really good group. Lots of different disorders being dealt with, FAE/FAS is a big one, so you'd get lots of help. I homeschool my autistic pre-schooler, and will be homeschooling my 'normal' little one, and any others that come along. Contact me if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to talk to you some more.
