Beyond the Realm of Rhetoric.
Greer, Jeptha V.
Exceptional Children, v58 n4 p296-97 Feb 1992
This commentary examines the political rhetoric evident in the education reform movement. Specifically, the paper questions what becomes of children with disabilities when schools feel pressure to improve standardized test scores and questions why educators are not included in the task forces of the National Governors' Association initiative on school reform.
