[quote=Anonymous]Disclosure is fundamental to reporting the achievements of the student. In the transcript every class and grade are disclosed. It's not hard to discern what skills and capabilities a particular student has (or does not have). But one outcome of introducing "accommodations" is that students who can meet the bar will avoid/reject classes where the bar is lowered for some and not for others. This (reverse) discrimination diminishes the value of the better students' accomplishments. It is not illegal to discriminate against people with different abilities - it is what hiring managers do all day - and it's the reason that students go to school to attain certificates of competency that are respected and meaningful (ie. diplomas).[/quote]
