[quote=Anonymous]Just for the record PP- it is extremely difficult to become exempt from MSA. For students with special needs and ESOL students, the most common situation is that they are tested individually or in a small group and given their legal accommodations (i.e., the ones on their IEP, not the ones that a teacher uses in addition to ensure learning occurs). For IEP students who have met basic in both math and reading, they can see if they meet the criteria to take MOD-MSA which is a modified version and slightly shorter/easier then the one most students take. And for students who have extreme cases, their MSA goals are written to match the goals on their IEP's. But very few actually become exempt and take no form of the test. ESOL students are exempt their first year of coming in to the USA, and after that are expected to take the test with their ESOL accommodations as mentioned above, no exceptions.

Sorry to hijack the real question here, but I wanted to clarify what I could![/quote]
