Quick note under the "No Child Left Behind" thing. My
uncle is an educator, indeed the superintendant of
Special Ed in the local school district, so the
children he administers over are usually the ones most
at need. Recently our state rep (friend of the family
and former teacher himself) was discussing what's
going on in Harrisburg, and this subject came up.
Neither had complementary things to say about the
system, and indeed both seem to think it will do more
to hurt kids who are NOT at need, than help ones that
are. I can't comment further than that, since some of
the stuff they talked about I couldn't really
understand (lack the professional training,
experience, or frame of reference), but my impression
is very negative from what I heard.
