In special Ed, teachers I work with allow the kids to use times table cheat sheets because so many of them have never learned them. Do you agree with this practice? Although it saves time when doing the work, I wonder if it hurts the kids in the long run by not being asked to learn the facts.

Reason: Spelling
I am not able to see the IEPs of the students I serve. I do not see calculators used in the classrooms I work in, maybe it varies by district. I don't know if they should memorize the tables or not, I'm just asking opinions of educators on this forum about the use of times table cheat sheets.

Full stop. Why, if you are providing services, can you not see the IEP? Kinda defeats the purpose of having you there. How do you know how and what you're supposed to do?

Sorry, let me clarify, I am an aide working with the RSP or special Ed teacher. I teach small groups in math and reading. In my district, aides are not allowed to see IEPs of students.

Some children are good with memory while others need visual learning (Meaning they need to see things for them to register)
I personally don't think its a bad thing for the students to have the cheat sheet and use them.

Is that district or teacher policy? Teachers will lie. I don't see how you can do your job without access to the IEP.

I have no issue with the cheat sheets by the way.
I do the best I can to be professional and caring with the kids I work with. Not sure if it's a district or teacher policy. I rotate among the special ed classrooms (both RSP and SDC) in my district and have done so for 2 years now. I always assumed it was district policy because I've never had access to student IEP's. We are not allowed to discipline the kids, either.

1 time I did ask to see an IEP. I was written up for "being nosy." The administrator sided with the teacher and said I have no right to ask about any students. 3 write ups and you are terminated from the district. True story. I have learned to do what I'm told and keep my mouth shut, or I can always quit and find another line of work.
