[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all these replies, but few posts have incensed me more. (And I am a university professor.) My kid has ADHD and dyslexia. His problem is that he won't ask for help or clarification because of experiences asking for help from teachers who put him down for not knowing basic things that he should have known. (And yes you can tell him something three times, and he may still not "hear" you.) Go back and figure it out yourself was the answer from elementary school teachers who truly scarred him. An arrogant attitude like yours would shut him up forever. I have become a much more understanding professor now that I am the parent of a special needs teen. You never know who you are dealing with and why they behave the way they do. Deal with your class issues in a respectful way as you help your students build good life skills. That is part of your job. Just like I have to teach STEM kids how to write even if they "should" have learned it from someone else. [/quote] Calm down, Poindexter. Professors typically get notified about special needs students, & they take that into account. The whole special needs topic is a red herring in this discussion. [/quote]
