IEP By Dr. Seuss

[Claire]

IEPs According to Dr. Seuss
I do not like these IEPs
I do not like them, Jeeze Louise
We test, we check
We plan, we meet
But nothing ever seems complete.

Would you, could you
Like the form?

I do not like the form I see
Not page 1, not 2, not 3
Another change
A brand new box
I think we all
Have lost our rocks.

Could you all meet here or there?

We could not all meet here or there.
We cannot all fit anywhere.
Not in a room
Not in the hall
There seems to be no space at all.

Would you, could you meet again?

I cannot meet again next week
No lunch no prep
Please hear me speak.
No, not at dusk. No, not at dawn
At 4 pm I should be gone.

Could you hear while all speak out?
Would you write the words they spout?

I could not hear, I would not write
This does not need to be a fight.
Sign here, date there,
Mark this, check that
Beware the student's ad-vo-cat(e).

You do not like them
So you say
Try again! Try again!
And you may.

If you will let me be,
I will try again
You will see.

Say!

I almost like these IEPs
I think I'll write 6003.
And I will practice day and night
Until they say
"You got it right!"

Oh how cute I'm going to laugh for awhile w/ this one. I even think i'm going to post it by my desk because i'm constantly sitting here dealing w/ IEP "stuff". This will make it not so frustrating. Very funny. I really needed this Thank You!!

[Chris too]

IEP's are coming soon for us - and the very thought turns my stomach to water. Thanks for the giggle!

I actually e-mailed this to Adam's teacher and the Principal. I didn;t get an answer from the Principal but the teacher sent me an e-mail and she thought I should print it out and bring it at our next IEP. ;D
