"No Child Left Behind has taken the joy out of teaching in many ways. NCLB mandates that students enter the regular classroom, regardless of their abilities or special needs. Students inappropriately placed in regular classes get lost coming to the room and are totally lost when trying to understand and learn the material. Daily, they try their very best to understand the material, and I support them. But still, total confusion exists, and both the special needs students and the regular students lose precious learning time. Please, reconsider and send special needs students to classes where they can be more comfortable."
