[quote=Anonymous]To be clear, no one is accusing children of cheating. People are talking about wealthy parents who utilize the IEP/504 process to get resources and accommodations for their developmentally normal children. The kids don't really have a say in it, and I suspect that pathologizing normal challenges and constantly seeking institutional solutions for what are, really, normal developmental milestones, will ultimately harm their kids. But it also has the effect of taxing public schools and corrupting a system that is supposed to be in place to help kids who genuinely need accommodations in order to access education. Not kids who may simply have need extra assistance (FROM THEIR PARENTS) to acquire executive functioning skills.[/quote]
