Our children deserve more...

Our children in Florida deserve a better and more individualized education than what they are getting because each child is different. This is especially so with our children with disabilities, because even when they test a child and they know they need help, they don't. With my son, his test scores were low and he was in special classes up North since Pre-K, but he did not receive special classes when we came down to Florida. They tested him and said that his test scores were low but not low enough, so they couldn't do more than speak about it. They have kept him in all special classes right know because I have been the squeeky wheel, but how about all the other kids and parents? We shouldn't have to go through what I went through to get our kids what they need and deserve.
