[quote=Anonymous]I don’t remember anyone at my affluent private school getting accommodations back in the 90’s. I’m not saying there weren’t kids who needed them or that the lack of diagnoses back then was a good thing…Back then it was understood that having B’s and C’s didn’t mean a lifetime of poverty and working at minimum wage jobs. Kids were recognized for a wide variety of personal/social qualities outside of academics and extracurriculars, not matter what their grades or scores were. The general understanding seemed to be that they will be fine in college and go on to become fulfilled, productive adults (and they did!). It’s a shame that the goalposts have moved to the point where parents are purchasing late-adolescent ADHD diagnoses for their perfectly normal kids. Because normal isn’t good enough anymore…[/quote]
