Why is No Child Left Behind problematic for many students with exceptionalities? How is it potentially at odds with the goals of IDEA 2004?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should include: NCLB expects 100% proficiency on standardized exams - problem for many students with exceptionalities who are unable to demonstrate a year's academic growth; potential for lowered challenge in classrooms for students with special gifts and talents as focus shifts towards basic instruction; IDEA 2004 recognizes the individual needs of students and the fact those needs may mean
different educational programs for different students while NCLB assumes all students will work towards the same goals and standards
