[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God some of you are so grossly insufferable. No, kids aren’t ’faking it’ if they have a legal diagnosis. No, they do not have to cite they have had accommodations.
No, it does not teach students ‘grit’ to have no accommodations.

I am a teacher at a top high school and graduated from great universities, I also happen to have ADHD.

I won’t go into detail but I wish I had gotten an early diagnosis and accommodations. Yes, I made it but I have what is considered ‘low support’ needs. Maybe my late teens and very early 20’s wouldn’t have been full of suicidal ideation.

These are children. They aren’t cheating and if somehow they do not actually have a disability I would absolutely blame the doctor and the parent(s).

The takeaway is sit your grown ass down and stop talking about children and young adults in such a nasty way. [/quote]

If there's a large and rapidly growing number of students demanding accommodations, then there's obviously something going wrong. Either people are lying and trying to game the system, or they've convinced themselves they have non-existent ailments. It's not the case however that suddenly a huge percentage of humans have disabilities. [/quote]

Nearly 40 percent of students at Hampshire College claim to be disabled.
