Extractions: If Congress were made up of ASBJ readers, IDEA would be in for a major overhaul or, at least, some significant revision. That's the message we received from your responses to July's question: Do we need to revise IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)? Fifty percent of you said IDEA needs serious overhaul, 45 percent said it could use some revision, and 5 percent said "leave it alone." "IDEA mandates lack logic and plain old common sense," said a Louisiana board member. "It is so out of control that we should do away with it completely." Most readers wouldn't go that far. But several said IDEA, which aims to provide educational opportunity to disabled students, has evolved into a complex and unworkable system of rewards.

Extractions: If you like helping people, enjoy working with your hands as well as your mind, and are interested in helping to prevent disease while assisting patients to maintain their health, a career as a dental hygienist may be for you. Dental hygienists are important members of the dental health care team who work with dentists in the delivery of dental care to patients. Hygienists use their knowledge and clinical skills to provide dental hygiene care for patients. They use their interpersonal skills to motivate and instruct patients on methods to prevent oral disease and to maintain oral health. Dental hygiene offers women and men of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds exceptional career opportunities. A minimum of two years of college education that combines classroom and clinical coursework is necessary to become a dental hygienist. This education prepares graduates to provide care to patients in dental offices, clinics and educational or health care institutions.

One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA 97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent practicable. As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.
