K.C. HOWARD - - Las Vegas Review-Journal

Like most seventh-graders, Tyler Jung doesn't like exams.
But when it comes to testing, Tyler, who has autism, doesn't want special exceptions.
Taking the same test as his friends is important, he said, "so it's at the same level as the other kids."
Next year, as required by No Child Left Behind, the federal education act, he'll take the same state curriculum test as his peers in eighth grade.
But numerous students are grappling with disabilities that leave them unable to keep up with their peers, and their scores in some cases are causing entire schools to be penalized.
