missed: > The kids who wear their PE clothes under their street clothes. PE > clothes that have been worn all week, running about and whateverelse > they did in PE in temperatures
over 100 degrees F. Are they > recognized by NCLB? Phewthetically, NO. > A good number of our RSP kids who are also ELL (Special Education > students who are also
"learning" English.) Are they recognized by > NCLB ? ?Por que pasa dude? > Our migratory students. The kids who attend three or four different > school in a school year.
Are they recognized by NCLB? No, go talk to > the USFWS. > The kids for whom breakfast is a large soda from the fast food place > across the street from our school, or whom seem to
show up at school > with fancy, expensive Starbucks beverages that most of their > teachers can't afford on a regular basis. Are they recognized by > NCLB ? No. Muy Grande,
Petit, and Al dente are not recognized > scoring categories by NCLB. _(From Polski3’s View from Here.)_
