"Ugh, Miss Vinson, just because you say he can't read doesn't mean he automatically gets put back in special ed."
"Well, then what am I supposed to do?"
"You need to document all the ways you tried to accomodate his needs to prove that you were doing your job."
"His accomodations say: 'extended time, frequent breaks and reduced distractions.' Even if he gets all those, he still only reads 3 letter words. I don't know how to teach someone to read, and I don't know how to assess someone who can't read or write. Isn't it insulting that to you, a special educator, who has a degree in special education, that everyone just expects me to wake up one day, with no training, and know how to teach special education students?"
"Miss Vinson, I agree that he should be back in special ed, but it can't just happen all of a sudden."
"He was taken OUT of special ed 'all of a sudden.'"
"I don't have time for this."
