[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher with experience in the committee here. The HOPE score is meant to be more inclusive to 2e kids. If you haven’t included his/her disability in your parent statement, it might help give context when you resubmit. The committee might look for favorably at your child’s application if they understand their disability.

I have also filled out my share of HOPE evaluations and[b] it is tough to come up with compelling evidence for children who actively avoid interaction with a teacher or look for ways to draw less attention to themselves in class[/b]. If that is the case, coach your child to participate more in class or have 1:1 conversations with the teacher/ ask the quester questions. Teachers are busy putting out fires, leading instruction, etc. and we try but don’t always get to know the quiet kids very well.[/quote]

You do understand that you are perpetuating the exact kind of disability discrimination that you purport to be helping by insisting that students learn to mask their disabilities and behave in neurotypical ways to "earn" the teacher's good recommendation? [/quote]
