X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Status: O Content-Length: 700 Lines: 19 Jan, These students are trying to pass the GED examination and so need to learn to do division without a calculator. Although accomodations which would allow calculator use on the exam are available, the student needs a diagnosis of LD and all the testing that goes along with it done within the last five years. Even when students have been evaluated as children the GED requires a new current evaluation. The cost of this is prohibitively expensive for our students although I have been looking into ways to use graduate students from Sac State to do these for us or to get grant money to pay for them. In the meantime, in order to get the GED, they need to learn to divide. Michele
