I'm glad I didn't grow up in the days of the IEP/EA. Most IEPs have terribly low expectations of students and they are surprised when students don't meet even those low expectations. I created my own education plan-to become as well-educated as possible by reading and studying on my own to supplement what I was learning in school.
Often the school instead fights every part of it as hard as possible and then after being forced to actually put something in it does nothing at all still. that was my experience.
And I really needed my 504, and it wasn't even enough if they did do it.
