“ESEA is causing more and more children to be left behind by placing mountains of paperwork on special education teachers who must give a one-on-one alternative test to students with major learning disabilities.

"Rather than giving this test, teachers need to be teaching their students one on one to help them each achieve their individual goals. Regular classroom teachers feel trapped into having to teach their students only those skills that will be tested, rather than being allowed to assess each child's needs and then teach what is needed for each child to be successful.”
