He can't take the test within the time allotted, can't turn in assignments on time, or can't take notes, etc. He is requesting special consideration. Other students in the class overhear your conversation and start to whisper among themselves. What do you do as a teacher? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There is an appropriate time and place to have this conversation. It should be private to prevent the other students from getting involved. I would immediately acknowledge the child but tell them they would talk to them about it at a different time. Scheduling a conference with the parents might be necessary to implement a 504 plan that allows the student to be given an extra amount of time on tests.
