THERE ARE KIDS WITH DISABILITIES THAT TRULY NEED MODIFIED STATE EXAMS.
My child, Fiona, has autism. This isn't a physical impairment but a neuro-biological impairment that dampers her ability to communicate with us. She wouldn't have been in general education fifteen years ago. She is making incredible progress but she needs a lot of accommodations and modifications to make a classroom set up for typical kids work for her.
The US Department of Education needs to know there are reasons for these tests. I understand that the USDE thinks the tests are doing my daughter an injustice. But you are setting Fiona up for failure. The teachers at her school work tirelessly!
I equate you taking her modified test away to taking her Special Olympics away. Please let Fiona be proud of herself!
