#and in my IEP meetings I would FIGHT them about what I wanted lmao

[wheelie-sick]

feel free to ramble about it in the tags I love hearing about people's lives

Hiya highschool anon here to say

I absolutely adored the ideas and loved hearing about him having an iep (having grown up with one my self emotional issues and difficulties with writing and schedules) it was nice being able to relate

Hey nonnie pssst....what if they ALL had IEPs? Well all four of the younger group anywho

But honestly like that’s not super unrealistic. 

I headcanon Kel as having ADHD so he grew up having one. Kel only has minimal accommodations except for extra time on tests and he gets his tests read out loud to him. 

He never knew there was anything different or strange about that, he just grew up knowing that when the class took a test he had to go with the sweet lady who didn’t make him sit at his desk and let him wander around as she asked questions and he answered her. 

His first experience of knowing that he was *different* was finding out that his teacher didn’t do the same for the other kids, and them making fun of him

Kel doesn’t really struggle too much in school, not until they get to high school. The scheduling of high school is such a rapid pace, and he can’t get his feet under him (I’ve already written about him and Mari studying together which like...sad) 

This is also a year after Mari died, so he’s still dealing with that. His grades take a huge dip, and his focus is completely shot to hell. On top of his usual accommodations, he also starts seeing his guidance counselor once a week. He hates going but he bears it until the next year’s planning meeting where he puts his foot down that he wants that to stop

I see Aubrey as late to getting accommodations. She refuses to think she has any problems, but after she gets into her fourth fight of the week, she is given the options of getting kicked out of school or attending anger management. 

She largely ignores what they teach her, but she does try to use it. You know in the game where she will go from having a super angry face to her eyes closed and peaceful? That’s her trying to use the techniques from her plan

Usually it doesn’t work, but that’s also where she gets into kickboxing which does help her get some of her aggression and frustration out in a healthy way. 

Post canon Aubrey goes back to the school psychologist and asks for better resources. That’s where she starts to work through what she learned and through her anger at her parents

Sunny....boy has got so many problems....but also I’ve focused on him so I’m just gonna focus on the other three for now LMAO

Basil has similar issues to Sunny in that he hasn’t been to school in 5ever, but the plan he has is different. 

So originally I said Sunny probably has a shorter school day...I’m taking it back that is Basil. Sunny needs the structure of school and forcing him up and out of bed in the morning is a good plan. 

Basil would need less interaction time, and his hobbies and extracurriculars are not traditional school activities like Sunnys (gardening and photography vs. Art and music) 

So Basil comes to school at noon and only stays half the day. He takes all his regular classes that he needs to pass still, and he’s given extra time on all assignments. 

Basil also has the option of going to the guidance office to take a break if at any point his anxiety becomes overwhelming. It’s an option he actually ends up using a lot because he is unprepared for how hard it would be to go back to school 

But Aubrey and Kel do their best to help him
