RE: Exemptions to STAR and other standardized testing

I am not opposed to setting and measuring standards. I agree that with all the money spent there needs to be accountability. What I would like to see reformed is only having one standard for all children, particularly with the state exit exam.  My special education daughter needs to be taught basic academic, employment and life skills to become a contributing memeber of our society. A vocational exit exam would be a better measurement of her success and the school's ability to have taught her. After all, employability and self-sustainability is the real test for all of our students.
