There are so many children failing these days not only because of childrens needs but because the school systems have changed so much over the years. I feel as though all children's education should be tailored to their specific needs.
IEP's a a growing thing and partially because they put such hugh expectations on children at a younger age and half of them can't keep up.
I had a child with an IEP since he was in the 2nd grade. By the time he was in the 10th grade I moved to a state that was learning at a slower pace and they felt he no longer needed an IEP. Although I saw him still struggling to keep on task it still caused him to lose interest in school cause he was no longer getting the extra help he needed. I ended up spending his last years in school fighting for his rights to no avail.

I think that schools are starting to realize that these children need help so they can be successful in life.
