Ny

Clip to ScrapBook   
In NY all children take the test even if they come in the day of the test. ELLs are exempt for 1 year in ELA. Math , SS and Science come in 5 other languages or they have to be orally translatedd. Very low Special Ed kids take an alternate assessment.
It is all very sad. 1 year oafter arriving in this country they have to take a test on the same level as kids who are native speakers. I want to see some "HIGHER UP" person taking a 4th grade test in Chinese after one year!
