[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't care at all.

Curious what was the accomodation? We had this over a calculator, they absolutely refused with my 5th 
percentile math calc child that has ridiculously low rote memory. Actually had a math teacher ask what if he was stranded on a desert island..seriously, can’t make that up. [/quote]

I mean where do you draw the line? 5th percentile is allowed a calculator but 6th isn’t? My kids are top 1% and we’re told it doesn’t warrant any real extra benefits because someone will be the top and someone will be the bottom.[/quote]

I think there is a difference when a kid has an 80th Percentile iq and 5th percentile math calculation score and a diagnosed disability that impairs the ability to retain rote info….. And the incredible thing is we have the ability to provide technology to assist those kids with that type of disability. I have an extremely high percentile kid across the board too and somehow I manage to recognize the difference. [/quote]
