Appeal to the school or the board of education.

Answer 2

aww sweetie I am so sorry.

don't be upset.

www.care.com has good tutors available at a reasonable price. Talk to your parents about getting one.

Have you been studying this summer?

Answer 3

Special Education is not a punishment, or at least it's not meant to be.

There are a few kids who just don't want to put the effort into studying, especially subjects they don't like. They far so fall behind, it looks like they have a learning disability. Most of the time, though, kids end up in Special Education because they really do have a disability. If it is very difficult for their performance in certain subjects--math reasoning, for example, to match how smart they are, that's called a Specific Learning Disability, or SLD. About half the kids in Special Education are there for this reason.

How to get out? Well, here are your best bets. Take the help they give you in Special Education, and ask for more. Work so hard, you close the gap in your scores and prove you don't have a learning disability. This is more likely to work if you really don't have a learning disability, of course. But it might just work, even if you do.

The other approach is to work on your parents, and also to attend the IEP meetings. There's a good chance they invited you to the meeting where the decision was made that you were eligible for Special Education, and you didn't want to go. If that's the case, you missed an opportunity to explain what's really going on with you, and the most valuable member of the team missed the game. Don't let that happen again.

If your parents are adamant that you stay in Special Education, just wait about four or five years. Unless they have evidence that you are incompetent to make your own educational decisions, parental rights will transfer to you when you are 18. The school will need your signature on anything instead of your parents'!

Answer 4

1. Find out exactly what your IEP goals and objectives are

2. Determine if you are actually meeting those goals/objectives

3. Talk with your IEP/Support teacher to be sure that (if you are meeting those goals) you don't need to meet higher goals after that in order to meet your peers' progress

4. IF you are 100% meeting all of your goals and do not need any of the supports in your IEP in order to succeed, then you can ask to be dismissed from Special Ed.  If you aren't, then you know what you need to work towards in order to be dismissed.

Good luck!  But remember, it's not necessarily a bad thing to get extra support while you can (for free!).

Answer 5

Your parents have to write a letter to the district special ed director stating that they want you out.

You probably have anxiety because you can't understand math.

Since you are in special ed the school should be teaching you HOW to do math, that is what special ed is for.

Doesn't surprise me though, special ed does no good for kids usually.  

Answer 6

You should have been 'invited' to your own IEP meeting by the special education teacher. You would have had the chance to express your concerns then. You should first, talk it over with your parents, contact the special education teacher, special education coordinator, to set up another meeting to discuss your concerns. Good luck to you.
