If you have a language based learning disability or autism, being able to "ask and answer who, what, where, when, why" will likely be unobtainable in 2nd grade.  They could do the work in another way, but because if forces discussion, they are immediate failures.

If a child has a disability, then they will need to have an IEP to help them access the grade level curriculum.   They should not be deemed "failures" but if they are, they would have been anyhow, under the old state standards, which also required 2nd graders to ask and answer questions.[/quote]

You obviously have no idea how difficult it is to get and keep an IEP.  DS has 4 separate disabilities but only has a 504 because some of those disabilities can involve behavioral issues.  That is until CC entered our lives.  This kid doesn't do well with multiple steps and will often shut down when over instructed.  It's not working out well for him and he is spending the majority of his days in the office doing nothing.  We keep requesting an IEP, go through the testing, but have yet to receive one.  This kid needs the IEP and an aid and I have no idea if he will ever get it.  Most likely he will wind up repeating his current grade.[/quote]
