[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is fabricated by the guy (Tineo college prep consulting) to get TikTok clicks….[/quote]

Exactly. That was my first thought. A random website gets this story from a tick Tok influencer who allegedly was told this story by the student. Not buying it for a second.

It doesn’t even sound plausible. How is a high schooler going to put in 12 hours a week at any daycare. They are open M-F and close between around 5 or  5:30. That would be over 2 hours a day. Unless the student’s high school ends early and the student never ever had to stay after school logistically it doesn’t even make sense. And there are very very few special needs daycare. After 3 years old students who have disabilities are provided services through public schools.

So, I agree it's probably for clicks.

But as a public school teacher, I knew plenty of teenagers covering the 4 - 6 shift at local daycares as their part time job.

I could name a number of daycares for kids with disabilities in the DC area.  These days most of them are inclusive, but places like Karasik (run by the ARC), or Easter Seals whose primary mission is serving children with disabilities. Even those kids who get services from the public school usually need daycare as well, as those hours are usually shorter than a work day.[/quote]

The most unbelievable thing is that Stanford would check [/quote]

+1 How on earth would they Stanford have the manpower to check this? However, a teen did ask me to sign off on her volunteer hours on an application form as part of my role as coordinator for a monthly volunteer program.  But she put down that she had been volunteering for 8 months when she had in reality only ever attended a single session and asked me to write her a reference letter when I could barely identify her if I saw her in the street having only met her once for 2 hours.
