DeeDee, thanks for the information about the educational advocate. I just emailed one here in ABQ about our situation, so I hope that I can get in *actual* contact with them soon. I'll have to check out that book too.

St Pauli Girl, thanks for that pdf. I'm reading over it now, there is a lot of good information on there. I guess what I was wondering is the "after students are tested" - does that mean everyone is tested? What kind of test? Things like that. I'm not real smitten with the principal so far. So we'll see how things go after I get a chance to meet with her.

Thanks again!!!
