"As a teacher of children with special needs, I am desperately aware that the students I teach will never attain adequate yearly progress, according to the standards as they are now written. No law can change the ability level of these precious students. Most of them, however, will be able to enter society and perform tasks that will provide-if not a living wage-at least a level of proficiency that will allow them to feel pride in a job well done.  

"ESEA in its current form does not allow for the exceptional child (beyond one percent of the population). Please contact the teachers in your area, and ask them how to correct the unreasonable requirements of ESEA-before it is reauthorized!"
