[quote=Anonymous]That's great news. Giving a child a reading test, and not asking them to actually read, and then declaring them "on grade level" does no service to the child, and removes any incentive to the school system to actually teach the child to read. Getting rid of that specific accommodation was the right thing to do, except for a very small group of children (e.g. kids who are blind and also have motor impairments that make braille impossible) for whom reading is impossible and not just hard, is the right thing to do.[/quote]
