Frustration

As a special ed teacher I sometimes get so frustrated. Now one might think that I get frustrated with students since we work with some of the more difficult students. But NO! I am not frustrated with kids. I would love to be able to teach kids and be left alone by OTHER TEACHERS.

OK, here is the situation. We have a standardize test coming up for the entire state of GA. Some kids due to their disability are tested in an alternate setting, or have the test read aloud to them (as long as reading isn't being tested). Well these accommodations are set up and legally binding by a report known as an IEP (Individual Education Plan). Well a certain regular ed teacher came to me this morning with what he thought was very urgent plan about a student. You see, this teacher believes a certain student needs to be pulled out to be tested but his IEP states otherwise. The teacher wants me to rewrite the students IEP so that he can be pulled out for the alternate setting during the test. Now the student has not been pulled out in years past and he will do ok taking the test in the regular setting. In other words, pulling the student isn't going to help him make a better score on the test.
Yet, I heard the other teacher out, but I along with the director of special ed agree that this student will take the test as planned in the regular education classroom. Well this is just completely unsatisfactory to the other teacher. He believes that he is right and he will not drop the subject. So since I did not give him the answer that he wanted this morning, he asked me again a little later. My answer was the same and I refuse to argue with him about the point. I just said thank you for your concern but he will take the test in your homeroom as planned. He wanted to argue the point so I told him he could take it up with the director.
You see this student isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and it does take him a while to get things done but that is no reason to need to be in a smaller setting for the testing. Yes he needs redirection at times to stay focused, but that is why the proctor of the test should walk around the room. Simply pointing at his test booklet is enough to keep the student focused on what he should be doing.
All I can figure is that this regular ed teacher doesn't want to properly proctor his students during the test.
