Cartoon of the Day

Ever since PL94-142 was passed back in the '70's children have been left behind.  I spent 8 years teaching medically fragile, multiple handicapped children ages 6-14.  They were accountable to the state standards but could have a portfolio rather then take the tests.  We were writing objectives such as : Albert will be able to show recognition of the state by glance at the picture 3 our of 5 times.  We ended up spending most of their time "in school" testing their objectives rather then allowing them the pleasures of explore the sites, sounds, textures, motion around them.  They had so little time.

Those that don't get left behind get run over for being ahead of the bus.
