IEP Bingo

I had shared some of the IEP humour from this site on a yahoo group. Another lady then shared this game. He takes the most commonly used phrases in a meeting and makes a bingo board. Then he crosses the phrases off as the meeting rolls along to pass the time. He may try to win with one line or a square or the whole board.

We decided to modify the game to suit an IEP meeting. We are all Home Educators but some of us have had our children in school, we have endured the IEP meetings. We have helped others get pass the dread of other's telling them what they can or cannot do for their children. So, we know a phrase or two. I would love to add to the list!

Here's what we have so far for our IEP Bingo:

your son
your daughter
we can't comply
we tried that
different at home
special needs
your parenting
honest
we did that
didn't work
IEP
education assistant
change
same
no funding
just take him and home school

Any other ideas?
