[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens when these kids make it through college (presumably with accommodations) and then enter the working world? I'm not aware of employers making accommodations. [/quote] They get jobs where this doesn’t matter. I’m one of them. I have had a great career, in large part because of my creativity and work ethic. But I could never finish standardized tests. My scores weren’t reflective of my abilities. There are so few jobs in the world that operate like standardized testing. It’s a false narrative that they prepare kids for the real world or in fact are remotely reflective of the real world. I am a terrible standardized test taker, because I’m so slow in that format. But I’ve had a very lucrative and rewarding career. [/quote]
