"ESEA needs to be changed to meet the needs of my students! My high school students are functioning at the first- and second-grade reading levels and cannot take the at-grade-level standards tests. They are only able to write five- to seven-word sentences (and that is on a good day). Instead, I must give them tests for their reading levels at the ninth- to twelfth-grade level (to match their peers).

"School should be more than just teaching to standards."
