If the entire school doesn't pass at a certain level, the school can lose funding.....

We teachers say they stand for what you are if you (or your students) don't pass them....Sh** out of Luck!!!
I do wonder how the Montgomery County school specifically for Autistic Students handles it...

I wonder whether or not NCLB will survive into the next administration.
