I need to vent!

Well, I went to the state web site and found their page for accommodations for state testing. And it said that "any commercially available word prediction or spell check program was fine as long as the kid had it in their IEP.. I emailed it to the teacher, who emailed it to the district person, who called up to the state, and they said "oops. We will allow it this year but we will change it next year." Stuff about it being "an unfair advantage." Yeah... well, I don't feel that way. I was a horrible speller, but I still phonetically wrote what I wanted. My son CAN'T do that, for what ever reason. It takes him so long, even when not on the computer with word prediction. And lets face it, word prediction is getting better, and soon even Word will come with it for everyone.
