[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish that more of the parents on here who have kids who legitimately require accommodations could actually see the scrutiny here as a good thing, as those who falsely claim accommodations make it harder for those who truly need them. But most of those parents retreat to 'but my kid . . .' kind of arguments, and a failure to actually explain (or even be willing to have a conversation) around the nuances of when it's appropriate to have accommodations and when it's not. [/quote] I am one. My oldest was an unhooked into an Ivy, incredibly smart with the work ethic to match. Middle has adhd, strong SAT score but didn’t so great in classes as can’t stay organized. Didn’t end up at a school anyone would be concerned about losing a spot from. I definitely want accommodations fairly scrutinized. It also bothered me my oldest from a deflation HS applied in a sea of easy 4.0’s applying. Plenty of issues all around. [/quote]
