@ Kaye-How frustrating that must have been. I am glad you stayed your course. I work with regular ed. and special ed. students and it is unfortunate that students are allowed to move forward without the tools and understanding they need of basic skills. During my student teaching, I was appalled when I came across a student in the 10th grade who did not know how to read beyond a 3rd grade level. How did she get moved up without someone noticing? How could I be expected to teach her with the regular text books that I knew she would never be able to read, process, and comprehend (especially alone for homework)?
I am glad that you stood your ground and not allow administration pressure into doing the students a further disservice by allowing them to take the easy route. Kudos to you.
