and you would not believe the paperwork for these IEP reports and the tests and guidelines and etc. concerning the NCLB Act. You'd probably have to see it to believe it, I suppose.

I've seen it; it's amazing. And I can tell you why there is so much: lawsuits. Parents suing the school to get every single thing they can think of, including a cab to school. That's why there's so much paperwork: because if the schools have ONE THING undocumented, the legal system will destroy them.

It's disgusting. I've seen kids that don't ever see there mother because she's out dating turn up at depositions with their parent, who is now demanding a laptop because her child isn't passing.

I believe it. My nephew has ADD combined with some other thing - the kid is 14 and he has a personal assistant/tutor who goes to all his classes and collects his homework assignments for him because he might 'forget'. He also has two sets of books so he doesn't have to carry them home and at one point he was being transferred to some other school a half hour away on a bus by himself every day. To top that off, his 'assistant' yelled at the principal for talking to fast to him at a meeting between him, his mother, the principal and the assistant. It's crazy, it really is :-(
