Near the end of the article, according to state Senator David Simmons: Simmons said all that the law requires is for a teacher to sit down with a kindergartener and ask about what he or she learned. “To assure each one of those children is helped, that we know what the deficits are in each child, so we can address the deficits,” said Simmons.
