Letters to the Editor
Jan/Feb 2011

Boca Raton, Florida
Designed With The Best of Intentions: The Fault Line in Support For Special Education

To the Editor:
NCLB promised positive changes. The law promised to have schools focus on students with disabilities, but states, districts and schools have systematically found ways to decrease the size of the group so that they do not count in a school's performance — changes in Florida resulted in students with disabilities being excluded from Adequate Yearly Progress calculations in 42 percent of the schools.

The system needs to change so all schools must focus on improvement in performance and all are held accountable for helping students with disabilities to succeed.

Kurt Landgraf, ETS Pres. & CEO Refocuses Premier Testing Organization

To the Editor:
Mr. Landgraf mentored me while I was employed at DuPont Pharmaceuticals. He is an asset to our society. He is awesome. I only hope my grandson can emulate Mr. Landgraf in the future.

An Interview with Dr. Kwando M. Kinshasa, John Jay College

To the Editor:
I find this is a very important article. You have given light on racism in a country that still practice such ugliness. Black students in this country have the need to know of these things.
