IEP's by Dr. Seuss

Do you like these IEP's?

I do not like these IEP's
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, or 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 5 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 students ad-vo-cat(e).

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

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

Say!

I almost like these IEP's
I think I'll write 503.
And I will practice day and night
Until they say"You've got it right!"

P.S. - I do NOT like IEP's and don't think I ever will no matter how hard I try.

IEPs are bad, it's true. Almost as bad as IEP meetings.
