While I am not saying that there are not students with real douctmented problems. I think that if the student has a accodmation plan that has been used all throught school a second evaluation should be needed in secondary education. The student may have out grown the plan, or has improved to a point to where it it no longer needed or may need a modification for new issues. With out this we have students that will use it to there full advantage. I have seen when I have been required to read a test to a student he tells me that reading is not nessary. We also see students that want all questions clarified and the answers clarified this gives them an advantage over the regular student who does not have this help. Keep in mind this is the same student that has no problem reading and filling out the worksheets required in class. But due to the plan we are scheduleing staff to cover the need when it is not needed. As for employers not hiring someone that cannot read or write. I am teaching technical and mechanical repair of vehicles. Would you like it if the technican who is about to diagnoise a problem with the air bag or ABS system on your car not be able to read and interpert the trouble shooting flow chart? Or not be able to follow the techinical manual to install brake components?
