Should my Child take the FCAT?

FCAT FCAT FCAT and what does it mean for our kiddo's? Sunshine State Standards being taught is so much more important with an opportunity to actually learn them, hopefully with the support our student needs, is more important than our kiddo's being able to pass this darn FCAT! If a student fails the FCAT what interventions are in place for your Child if they didn't pass it?  Always ask yourself...what would a 100% general education student receive if they didn't do well on the FCAT? Your son or daughter should receive those same interventions and support as well! Don't settle for the Special Diploma option till your Child has had at least an opportunity to 'fail the FCAT' and receive intensive interventions to be able to pass the next FCAT and the next FCAT and the next FCAT!  Intensive interventions is part of what students receive if they score low on FCAT.

Little Secret:
YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER WILL NOT BE THE FIRST TO FAIL THE FCAT.....MANY NON-ESE STUDENTS FAIL THE FCAT!
