This sounds like one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, and one of my CO collegues with 20 years in speech therapy/special education commented (when I asked if this was true): "It is not only true, it is actually worse than this. Students who are in a persistant vegetative state have been required to take the test from time to time, students who do not yet speak English, students with severe emotional disorders, physical problems, etc. It is absolutely absurd."

Wait, wait wait. How is a "student" in a "persistent vegetative state"? I not joking about this. If there are more than one percent of students who have zero improvement, then maybe the "students" need physical therapists, not "teachers".
