Barbara,
Your comments are so true. I have been reading a book called, "Getting to Got It," that is quite profound in how it addresses the way in which teachers work with students to help those who struggle most to actively make their own connections and learn how to think, not what to think. I love the way you expressed that.
Cheryl

Hello Barbara: I so agree with your comment as well. I am a special education teacher from Florida. My students are expected to take and pass the FCAT when they are performing 2 to 3 years below grade level. Some do not even know their alphabet completely. Now NCLB would never ask a student in a wheelchair to get up and walk across the room; however that is what they are asking of students with disabilities. Shannon
