Accountability and the education of the disabled.
Abstract
The No Child Left Behind Act holds schools accountable for the academic proficiency of all students. Its singular goal of academic achievement raises potential ethical issues for students with learning and behavioral disorders whose needs in the social domain are well documented. The narrowing of the general education curriculum has unintended consequences for students with disabilities. With less time available for a curriculum focusing on social development, these students may fail to reach academic potential and be accepted as rightful participants in general education classrooms.
