ANOTHER FCAT HORROR STORY -- Here's a kid who is an honor student, takes college-level courses in high school and is generally a model student. One catch. He's dyslexic. Has lots of trouble processing written information. Usually he works around it. Listens to tapes. Dictates papers. But FCAT won't let him listen to the questions instead of read them. Rules are rules. So, he explains, he probably won't graduate from high school.
Here's Martin Dykman's column about this case. There might be new recommendations . . . after the elections.
