New idea for your LD Cartoon Calendar

*

Hmmm,I LIKE it:-))

Okay got another one,what do you guys think about this?( this actually happened at an IEP meeting last week)

The IEP team is sitting there,discussing services.
The speech therapist says,I don’t think he qualifies for speech,because he can’t talk..

GOD forbid we give the speech therapy to kids who have trouble talking…shouldn’t this be an enrichment program for the kids who show talent in this area? Those who can’t talk can have it written into their IEP that they don’t need to…GRRRR!

Argh, I guess you HAVE to laugh…crying is not always useful! good one, both of you!

And SEE if ya’ll came to my chat you could join in and laugh! I mean sometimes you have to laugh at the idiocy of the whole failing system.

Seriously we got into a conversation of making a calender,daily,you know like the ones you can get with Far side cartoons? All about IEP meetings.

One seriously funny one came from one of my chat buddies Mandy.

Her cartoon idea was a picture of two buses pulling up to the school. On the side of the bus is Smith Family reunion. Two people are exiting the bus and the one turns to the other and says,”finally we’re gonna out number them this time!” Does this not give you a visual that makes you LAUGH?

Got to laugh,if not,what would you do with your sense of humor?

Sitting at the IEP table everyone is looking puzzled,the special ed teacher turns to the reg ed teacher and says,but have you ever had him in your class? “No “the reg ed teacher says,” ,but I have taught his brother”. “Okay” the special ed teacher says,”maybe no one will notice”.
(Had a hard time keeping a straight face during this very real meeting)

The classic is the regular teacher telling the parent, ” he could do it if he only tried harder.”

Regular Ed teacher to parent at parent teacher conference, “There is no such thing as LD it’s just a matter of being lazy and dumb.”

Helen

AAH… very good one Helen,Osi had a similar one to this the other night.

The principal turns to the school psych and says,” you mean he is STILL dyslexic?”

sounds like you must have been in my district in NJ

A true one:

It is late Auguest and a mother of a new kindergartner who is Bi-Polar expresses her concern to the principal that her son will sometimes lay down behind parked cars. The principal’s solution is to put out a memo to all teachers asking them to check behind their cars before they get in. He also states that he is having a hard enough time getting a teacher to agree to take her child in her/his classroom.

FAPE, I don’t think so!

Helen

I’m sure we could use it as a fundraiser for something!!

2nd grader getting off the bus on the last day of school, excitedly throwing his back pack way, way, way, under his bed. ITS DONE!! It’s OVER!!
Then picture him on the first day of 3rd grade - excitedly sitting at his desk UNTIL he realizes that they have reading here too!

Young Einstein at the board sratching his head and looking at his formula:

3=MC2

Teacher at the board with the stick pointing to S A W

Caption: Ok, everyone say together, “was”.

OKay ya’ll are killing me.

What about this idea?

Since IDEA is up for reauthorization and they are asking for parents input regarding their experiences.

Everyone who has a real life IEP meeting experience such as this can submit it for the calender and we’ll send it to all OSEP represenatives,the president,OCR director,hmm anyone else ??

Now this is parental input of what we go through on a dialy basis,all over this country.”let’s roll”.

anyone out there know how to draw??

I’ve always loved

The principal leans over and asks the special ed teacher “What does the b in ld stand for”?

At a recent IEP meeting for my ninth grade son…… All the eyes of the meeting were on him. For five minutes he showed us how organized he was…this is where I keep my homework, over hear my notes..And his calendar schedule was filled in properly; He even had his separate test folder! The parent could not contain herself any longer, she got up and went over to pat him on the head, “Oh, Thank you for the demonstration. What a wonderful organizer you are Mr. Johnson, I’m sure it helps all your math students who aren’t organized!”

These are great. Don’t forget the one about the parent at iep meeting with cardboard cut out of Senator Kennedy saying, “Well, you’re always supposed to bring a friend to the meetings.” Next cartoon : She turns to cardboard and says,”Did you bring the tape recorder?” I don’t remember who thought that up, but I love it. While we’re on the subject of stuff that really happened…..
The teacher is explaining to the parent, “I don’t care what the test results show, she doesn’t look like an ld kid to me.” You gotta laugh.

Good one. I like that one I can see my son doing the same thing.

I am totally off topic, but this reminds me of my daughter in preschool. My children attended a Catholic preschool/kindergarten very near my home because i liked their program. The church/school is called St.Peter and St. Paul. The custodian’s name was “Paul.”

One day my daughter (younger) and I picked up my son’s friend and the three of us went to pick up my son at 1:00 (he often stayed for lunch). As we pulled into the parking lot, we saw Paul doing something nearby. She told her brother’s friend,”That’s Paul, I don’t know where Peter is.”

Kids say the funniest things…

My friends kid in 1st grade mistakeningly went into the boys bathroom at school. She was ready to file a discrimination complaint! She marched over to her mom and said,Hey! I just went into the boys room,and it isn’t fair! They HAVE showers in their bathroom,and the girls don’t!” Mom then had to explain what urinals were….

I love the whole idea! I don’t know how to draw, but I do know a couple of cartoonists.
