[quote=Anonymous]All "special needs" kids cannot be lumped together. Some special needs children need technology to access the curriculum- like text to speech, speech to text, or word prediction software, audio books, scribes... Some special needs children need fewer distractions, quieter environments, extra time.... Most can pass the standard cognitively if the method of testing is modified. Some special needs children cannot pass the standard cognitively and some of those will be able to on a longer time line - those should be given an extra time (years) to complete their HS education. All of these can be addressed through the current IDEA, IDA and other laws for education. Common Core did not repeal those laws. Standards are helpful to flag students who have LDs and/or other types of issues that impair their abilities to access the curricula. Standards need to be high enough for that. [/quote]
