IEPs According to Dr. Suess

Do you like these IEPs?
I do not like these IEPs

I do not like them, Jeeze Louise

We test, we check
we plan, we meet

but nothing ever seems complete.

Would you, could you 
like the form?
I do not like the form I see.
 Not page 1, not 2, not 3.

Another change,
a brand new box, I think we all

Have lost our rocks.

Could you all meet here or there?
We could not all meet here or there. 
We cannot all fit anywhere.

Not in a room 
Not in a hall 
There seems to be no space at all.

Would you, could you meet again?
I cannot meet again next week
 No lunch, no prep
 Please here me speak.

No, not at dusk and not at dawn
 At 4 p.m. I should be gone.
Could you hear while all speak out?
 Would you write the words they spout?
I could not hear, I would not write
. This does not need to be a fight.

Sign here, date there,
 Mark this, check that,
 Beware the student’s ad-vo-cat(e).
You do not like them
so you say
 Try it again! Try it again!
 and then you may.
If you let me be,
I’ll try again
and you will see.

Say! I almost like these IEPs

I think I’ll write 6,003.

And I will practice day and night

Until they say
 "You’ve got it right."
