Good times, that.<BR/><BR/>I understand that we have to have tests--we had the Iowa Basic Skills tests back in the day--but I hate the way the government relies on the stupid test scores. And I hate that my special ed kids have to take them...they were stressed out all day. :( The reality is...most special ed kids don't pass, simply because most special ed kids aren't at grade level.
