Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I attended an IEP meeting with a friend for her 12 year old daughter. The girl is bipolar, PDDNOS, ODD, OCD, ADHD and more. Besides having unrealistic goals that I helped her get changed, the SPED teacher was insulting. Both the girl's parents are bipolar. The only job her father has ever had has been at burger king. While asking Sierra about her goals, the teacher said, " The choice is yours. You can grow up, skip college, drive a pinto and work at burger king OR you could have a nice car and a good paying job. " That statement bothered me! Working with special ed kids, she should know better. Burger King might be the best they can do...and at 12, does she really need to focus on a career anyway? I am still trying to figure out how to handle the SPED teacher. Any input would be great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
