Batterypowered7 posted:Reminds me of Guiliani asking for "normal" scrutiny or not knowing what opacity meant. Yeah. As you'd predict, violations like the one in the OP come primarily from tenured boomer shitheads who've been teaching for a million years and the school is too lazy to fire who "don't believe in" the various learning disabilities we have become more capable at diagnosing and destigmatizing over the last few decades so her acting like this while claiming to be new at all this is especially galling. (Not because old teachers have any excuse, but because she lacks any kind of institutional protection so her behavior is shocking purely from a perspective of self-preservation even if you don't care about the student's well-being.) AITA for refusing to cut my husband’s nails and hair after he refused to cut my toe nails when I was pregnant? quote:I am African and my husband is Jamaican. When we were dating, I started cutting his nails (toes and hands) just for fun. I am a very caring person, so it made me very happy to cut his nails while we were watching a movie or something. We got married a little bit before Covid hit so on top of cutting his nails, I started cutting his hair as well because barbershops were closed. I truly enjoyed myself doing these things especially styling his beard that I asked him to keep because I like the look. I never asked him to do such thing in return simply because I am a control freak and like to do things on my own.

That isn't a thing. When you want to be an elementary/high school teacher, you have to take X generic coursework in college which is about what laws you have to follow (IEP stuff, privacy stuff re: grades, classroom management, lesson planning, etc) which is the same for everyone no matter what you plan to teach. After taking these classes, you take the licensing exam that tests you on this stuff. You also take a general knowledge exam on what the colors are and what noises animals make if you're an elementary teacher or a subject-specific exam if you're a high school teacher just to check that you know what a verb is if you're an English teacher or that you can do algebra as a math teacher, etc. This, you are not trained for during your coursework but are expected to study for on your own time and possess some basic competency with if you are interested in teaching x subject as a job. Once you've done all those classes in college and passed both licensing exams, you are assigned to a teacher who works in your desired subject area and you student teach with them for a year. During this time, you're doing all the stuff a teacher does, including IEP related accommodations. While stemlords are predictably much worse about violations like this, since math instruction attracts coppy fucks, it's not because they are ignorant of the laws. They are trained really extensively in this area and it's hammered home because you can get yourself and the school in big trouble if you violate an IEP. If someone completed their BS in mathematics without taking any education classes (depending on where you live it can be a major or a minor you can take in conjunction with majoring in something else if you like) and decided they wanted to be a high school teacher, they'd still need to take these classes. They can't just walk into a classroom with that and teach. It's not like an industry job where your knowledge of your subject area is adequate. Since it's a government-regulated job and you're working with kids, they need to put you through a bunch of specific training and safety programs (telling you you're a mandated reporter, what a mandated reporter is, how to pick up on signs of abuse in students, what the proper authorities to report to are, etc). That way, if you gently caress up like the IB OP does, the place that trained you and gave you your rubber stamped "I have been briefed on how to follow IEPs" certificate has its rear end covered. Nobody will hire you without these things, they are part of the credentials necessary, same as an engineer's license.

Invisible Clergy posted:I assume OP wanting to gently caress Karen is the primary reason he's whiteknighting for her as well, yes. In the comments the OP mentions that he has been sticking by Zack all these years because OP was once in a toxic relationship and Zack was the only friend who stuck by him, so he's doing the same. Which is honorable in a way I suppose, but he's a moron for letting it ruin his own life. There's a lot more to the story with the bully son if you read the comments. The stepdad is an unemployed authoritarian loser who tries to play the "man of the house" role with the stepson who is openly contemptuous of him. One time stepdad made a post on Facebook "joking" about corporal punishment and the ex-husband went to confront him and the stepdad locked himself in the bathroom and climbed out the window and ran away and the son never lets him live it down lol.

It's helpful when we'll look in comments for extra information since due to AITA's stupid rules, the posts are often not able to include vital information due to the character limit and only being allowed one update on punishment of being sent to the cornfield. I'll usually only look in the comments when it seems like there is information missing, but obviously that's somewhat subjective and we'll all check the comments for different things. If gorilla suit's stepdad is so nasty, then him being out of the house is definitely the right call. Again, him moving back in with the ex-husband who approves of his terrible behavior is a win for everybody.

Invisible Clergy posted:This is true. That's the other hosed up thing about this flavor of post: in addition to being unethical and immoral, OP is creating extra work for themselves. Your relationship with an IEP as an educator is not to judge whether or not it's reasonable, because you have zero power to overrule it. If the standard test has 5 options for a multiple choice test, and a student's IEP says "student must only have two choices on multiple choice tests due to [disability]," they are not asking you your opinion on whether you think that's what's best for them or whether you feel like doing it, they're telling you extra work you have to do to accommodate that student: the end. quote:I try my hardest to model them after the exams and I am aware that students who have IEPs for special needs like her receive their accommodations on the day of their IB exams. In order to ease them into it, I give all my students 15-30 minutes more than the time they would get to write their IB exams. I'd reassure her that she has her extra time need embedded in the test time. Why is giving everyone extra time to avoid singling out the kids on an IEP inappropriate? That seems to be what the teacher is doing here, though the kids without an IEP are going to be in for a surprise when they have to take the real thing.

IEPs (individual education plans) are the extra accommodations disabled students receive through their special education liaisons to help them complete the coursework. During the training elementary/high school teachers undergo, IEP stuff is one of the first things you are taught and spend the most time on because it is a very serious legal right disabled students are entitled to. If you do not follow their IEP as an educator, you are in violation of federal law and can be hosed quite seriously.

This isn't a "whatever test", it's the capstone exam that the entire program is designed around and determines whether students can get college credit for the course. When everyone has to take that final exam, they will be held to a pace that's outside of the teacher's control and the student with the IEP will get extra time. But for the exams along the way the teacher gives all the students extra time beyond that standardized pace. The student with the IEP gets extra time as they would with the real test, but so do the other students. Unless the teacher is grading on a curve this wouldn't negatively impact the student with the IEP? AreWeDrunkYet fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Mar 24, 2022 |

If you think the test takes an hour and the IEP needs 25% more time they get an 1:15. If you think the regular students only need 45 minutes, but say "you have one hour" since you set the benchmark at one hour the IEP student still gets 1:15. You can't "bake it in" so to speak.

Fair enough, rules are rules. It would be easy for teachers to get arbitrary with the "standard" time otherwise. In this case there's an external standard being set by presumably qualified professionals, but that's not the case most of the time.

I don't teach in the US and can't speak to IEP's specifically; I usually just get a list of students with accommodations that tend to be double prep time for oral exams and 45/90 extra minutes for written ones, depending on length. I'm guessing the student is entitled to more than "15-30" extra minutes, because if the OP had any idea what they were doing they'd include the exact accommodations required by the IEP in their post. E: They are also discriminating against the student by giving everyone but her extra time, to be clear, but I think there's a bigger offense buried here.

AITA for telling my roommate not to wear outside shoes in the apartmentquote:I’ve been living in my apartment with my roommate for 10 months now. Our lease is about up. She always wears her shoes she wears outside around the apartment. I always try to take mine off when I come in the front door. Yesterday I noticed she takes her outside shoes off when she enters her room. I finally mentioned it to her last night and she seemed confused. This morning I sent a long text explaining how I see foot prints in the living room and kitchen and that if she takes off her shoes in her room she should do the same for the common areas. She replied that my text was rude and unnecessary. AITA for finally making a big deal out of it after all this time?

The problem is that the students are taking an extra hard practice test that has the same model as the real test, except the teacher gives them more time to do it because they’re still students. Then the one student with the education plan needs extra time compared to the other students, but the teacher refuses to give it because the extra time is already given compared to the real test
