You are only a week late to the party. Ad nauseum, I believe, is the word.

I think the thing that is disabled in many of these kids (and more so their parents) is their conscience.

I wouldn’t assume it’s the rich kids. MC UMC are equally capable.

So, if I'm a Stanford professor and give a test, nearly half of the classroom would be empty, since 40% would be taking it at a disability testing center with extra time? Feels weird.

So by not being disabled, will my kid be considered "diversity" at Stanford since so many kids are "disabled"?

I would love to read the sob story essays these kids wrote about how their "disability" made life so challenging for them. The schools have brought this upon themselves.

And no, I'm not a cold-hearted jerk. I feel for those with legit disabilities that negatively impact their lives. But the whole situation has gone completely overboard and these fake disabilities are only damaging to those with legit ones.

How is this journalism? The author (Emma Camp) just rehashes the Atlantic article published earlier this week!

It sounds like a typical exam day at Wootton, Churchill, Whitman, and WJ.

Kids cheat and get fake As. Then parents complain about weed out classes.

Nothing shows on SAT about extra tine which is utter BS. It’s not standardized.

The kind of students that Stanford accepts these day will likely use all the advantages available. I'm surprised it's only 40 percent that get accommodations at Stanford.

That’s fine take all of the extra time and advantages in college but good luck at holding a real job, these weak types will get weeded out very quickly.

Yup.

Boss: Client needs the report in an hour
Snowflake new employee: But I have an accommodation for extra time
Boss: Client needs the report in an hour
Snowflake: I said I have an accommodation
Boss: Great. Then I will find someone else who can actually do the work or else the client will hire a different firm that can. We are running a business, not a charity
Snowflake: I'm going to HR
Boss: Good, they will find you a nice, low stress back office job at 1/4 the pay.

Uh, they don't mention a word of this in their applications.
