Reading this makes my blood BOIL. When our daughter was enrolled in WPS, with an IEP, we had the assistant director of soecial education tell us, in an IEP meeting, that our daughter could not take a foreign language class as a freshman. When we asked why not, her response was "oh, there is no room in her schedule for it". When I asked doesn't she need foreign language classes to enroll in college? Her response was "oh, if she decides some day to go to a trade school she doesn't need those classes". I asked again, what about if she wants to go to college? Her response was "she can slways take foreign language classes at CCRI if she needs to". That is just the tip of the iceberg that was the condescending, rude, bs that we dealt with for many years.

Oh, and our daughter has an IEP because she was behind in her education due to being a foster child for seven years. We had been warned by her state appointed educational advocates before we adopted her that we would have a hard time dealing with the school department, because sadly all foster kids get labeled as difficult and hard to teach. Well, this momma is fighting back.
