Before anybody gets their knickers all bunched up, I work in a high school with disabled students. How do they factor into this, many of these students are unable to take this test, which then lowers funding, as we all know that is what the standardized testing is for. Then there are some students who meet the criteria for the testing, have to take it, and get very low scores which in turn, lowers the funding the school can get. This all has a very bad backlash on the treatment these students get, as administration sees them as nothing but a liability, when they are really entitled to the best education we can give them. But education these days is centered on passing the damn standardized tests. Doesn't this seem extremely unfair and detrimental to the welfare of these students, who are surely being left behind?
