Has Anyone Heard about this?

[Guest guest]

I was talking with my mother this morning and she informed me that the

T.E.A. is trying to pass a law by 2009 that will do away with special

ed classes on the elementary level and require that ALL special ed

class children be mainstreamed. Has anyone else heard about this?

Supposedly the T.E.A. is saying that the public schools are

intentionally putting more kids into " special ed " classes so that they

will be exempt from the TAKS test thus giving the school a higher taks

score...so to make it fair and get actual " real " scores they want all

kids with disabilities mainstreamed by 2009 so that they will have to

test as well.

Just curious if anyone else has heard about this????
