Arne Duncan insists that all kids should sit in regular classrooms and learn Common Core Standards with no variance. He has also moved to strip states of their ability to have special needs children take alternative testing. So even if they read at a second grade level, they must sit for a 7th grade test that is now written at a 10th grade level.
