The vast majority of special education students, however, sit down to the same questions as every other student in their grade.
If, as a group, they fail to meet standards, the entire school could face sanctions specified in the law, from having to provide tutoring to a state takeover or restructuring.

Nov. 2nd, 2007 11:02 amWSJ -- Lexus LS 600h L -- this is a hybrid limousine with a base sticker price of $104,765, meaning that it's the perfect way for a captain of industry to show the little people that he, too, will sacrifice nothing in his attempt to demonstrate to the world that he sort of cares about the environment. (And of course he does, as these days there are profits to be made by selling all manner of "green" products, whether they have any tangible environmental benefit or not.)
Toyota is bullish on the LS 600h L's "Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle" rating, the EPA's tightest standard for gasoline-powered vehicles. Of course that standard has nothing to do with carbon-dioxide emissions, which are strictly tied to fuel economy. And with an EPA combined rating of just 21 mpg, this 16.9-foot, two-and-a-half-ton sedan isn't doing a lot to combat global warming. It will get two miles per gallon more than the nonhybrid LS 460 L on which it is based, a car that costs $33,000 less.
We did the math: The hybrid version will save its owner enough on gas to break even after only 2.1 million miles.
