Sick of crap or no goals

[Janis]

It has been a long day (month, year) at this school so forgive my bluntness: 

11 meetings this year so far (2 kids) and still at least 2 more to go with IEEs

Not only have the Generic, drop-box, completely inappropriate crap goals not improved, the newest draft IEP went from 3 crap goals to 1!!!!!! 
It appears that putting crap goals in IEPs is a great tactic as I have not read one due process case (or met a lawyer willing to take a case) based on crap goals.  I am not equipped to write my children’s goals (but will have to learn how to do that too), but neither is this district ( really Special Services Director  in this case as he is the Only IEP team member who is allowed to do anything).

Since I am pretty certain that any goals that I actually write and ask to be included in their IEPs will be refused, which leaves me in this exact situation (Due Process), does anyone have any suggestions/experience/info about this?

Is it better for me to just compose goals (in the clearly established areas of need) knowing that they will not use them?  So I can have them put that in a PWN/NOREP?

Am I nuts to be furious that the pathetic 3 crap goals are now only 1????  Do they really think my ASD/ADHD/SLD 9th graders (who have failed their first Keystone round which was entirely predicted by the Firefly and Last spring PSDA scores…….but utterly ignored by everyone except me) only needs 1 goal???? 
I am really over all of this…..when I can’t even get a goal????? 
Can anyone tell me why I am wasting all of my energy and time (and money) just to have a few goals written down?  I’m not even talking about real SDIs, or certainly not even progress with data or being implemented (I won’t bother including “with fidelity”).
