Flowers are not in your IEP......

[Guest guest]

I have been keeping this very old prose-poem and would like to share it with

you. It is long-ish, but I hope you enjoy it!!! I will even attempt to

tpe-check so that it makes sense!!! From Makuch, circa 1981 (All

things change but stay the same)

Teacher the young man said, I found this flower over the weekend and I want

to know what made it grow.

Look, young man, you're in special education. You must have and IEP, it's

the law you see.

And flowers aare not in your IEP, young man!

You have short term objectives in math and reading, young man, young man.

You have long range goals in self-help and getting along with others. But

flowers are not in your IEP, young man!

But, teacher, the young man said, I really want to know- what makes the

flowers grow.

Look Young man, your mother and father and the principal and I wrote yuor

IEP and then we signed it, that's the law, you see. And flowers are not in

your IEP, young man.

Your IEP has an evaluation component young man, it's the law, you see,. And

I want you to reach your objectives and attain your goals. There's no time

for anything else, and besides...flowers are not in your IEP, young man!

Please, teacher, the young man said, I'd ather learn about flowers than math

or reading.

OK, young man, if you insist, but this will be a significant change in your

IEp and your parents will have to agree, it's the law, you see.

A month has passed, a conference was held, the IEP was revised; procedural

safeguaards were observed and all the necessary paperwork completed, it's

the law, you see. And flowers are now in your IEP, young man.

But, teacher, the young mansaid, the flower is dead and I found a frog over

the weekend and now I want to know what made it grow.

Look, young man, your mother and father and the principal and I revised your

IEP and then we signed it, that's the law, you see. And FLOWERS are now in

your IEP. You have short term objectives in math, reading, and FLOWERS,

young man. You have long range goals in self-help and getting along with

others.

But frogs are not in your IEEP, young man!!!
