[IAEP] Forbidden words

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi...
Children are under a lot of stress in a testing situation. We also have a bad history of cultural bias on standardized tests here in EEUU. Anything that they can do to make a testing less stressful and less biased seems like a good idea. I see no problem with getting the test makers to clean up their act.
