Parents of kids with disabilities are asking for accountability for the instruction of their kids. While I’m not a fan of the massive federal involvement in education, at least the No Child Left Behind law requires accountability and no longer allows schools to lump together the achievement of all kids so that those who are struggling are buried within the statistics. No doubt this group of children requires the skill of the best, most dedicated teachers and those who enter the special needs field are to be commended. My hat is also off to these parents — ANY parents — who engage the system and expect results.
