I especially reacted to your reference to the RIT paperwork. We spend hours trying to get all of this paper work just right. I fully believe that much of the hoops that we end up having to jump through are a reaction to our litigious society. We're so wrapped up in getting all the testing and all the paperwork just right that I believe we neglect our students' educational needs. What started out as a good intention ended up doing more harm than good. I hope that there will be an end to NCLB but what I fear is that another program will take its place in the name of trying to prove that the next political body can do it better. Pray!
