May 1999: Cover Story ERIC Express Lines Adviser Word of Mouth ... Links to Advertisers One Mississippi school board decided not to accept the status quo. Nearly a decade ago, the Oxford School Board began to take a hard look at the achievements of its students. By most accounts, they were doing an adequate job. But the school board members wanted better for their district. Their focused approach brought results, making Oxford one of the highest-achieving schools in the state. And in the process, the board showed that school boards not only have a role in increasing student achievement, but they also can be leaders in their district's improvement efforts. Like Mississippi, the Oxford School District is a study in contrasts. The city of Oxford is home to Old Miss and was the home of William Faulkner, who immortalized the town in his novels, calling it Jefferson. (It was to Jefferson that the Bundrens made their disastrous 40-mile pilgrimage with their mother's corpse in As I Lay Dying.

71. Reforming The Individuals With Disabilities In Education Act (IDEA) The definition of learning disabled is so ambiguous that researchers at the These children may be placed in special classes, dismissed from school, http://www.fightforkids.com/idea_reform.htm

"The question that Congress must ask is why have so many states had to introduce resolutions or pass legislation to curb schools labeling and drugging children? Unfortunately, the answer is that until IDEA is reformed, and Congress provides a physically based scientific definition of 'disability,' the diagnosing of children with subjective disorders will continue to be a national problem." Mrs. Patricia Johnson Member, Colorado State Board of Education In 1999, in the wake of the Columbine school massacre, and under the direction of Mrs. Johnson, the Board passed the precedent setting Resolution that called for academic rather than drug solutions for behavioral and learning problems in the classroom. When Congress originally passed IDEA, covering Special Education, its primary purpose was to provide a Free and Appropriate Education for children with hearing, sight, speech and other physical handicaps. Over the ensuing 27 years, the funding has been largely funneled, instead, to children with "learning disorders," a term so subjective that children who fidget, butt into line or interrupt their teachers are so labeled. In most cases they are subsequently prescribed cocaine-like, mind-altering drugs. Many of these children simply have never been taught to read. Clearly, there is a critical need to provide an objective, scientifically based definition of "learning disability," and this must be the central point of reforming IDEA.
