[blindkid] inaccessible homework and a quick math question.

I am noticing more of Abby's assignments (she is in second grade) are
coming home  in an inaccessible format.   I try and be understanding. It
seems to be a trend right now not a rare assignment forgotten about. Her
math is always braille but its her word work that seems to be the program.
 It seems like I get them trained and things come home right and then they
kinda fall back into not doing it.  (she was sick for a week)  Is this
going to be a problem that keeps coming up? We had a great IEP meeting just
less than two weeks ago.  They know I am going to help her with her
homework and they seem to use that as a fall back. She actually has a great
TVI and a great classroom teacher it just seems like 'little' things like
this happen all the time.  I plan to calm down a bit and sending a quick
email reminding them that all her work is suppose to come home in braille.
I am just a wee bit frustrated.

Also Abby is doing really well in math. She has a great mind for numbers (I
wonder if she is my kid) I noticed in her last assessment that there was
some areas she wasn't really strong in an all of them involved a visual
element to it.  graphing, measuring.  They didn't include her answers this
time (usually its attached) This is a common area for a blind child to
struggle in correct? I was told verbally she did great in the assessment.
So I was taken a back when those areas were labeled "developing"
