[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]better students' [/b]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] Sorry, but as much as you would like to believe it, your kid is not a “better” student than my ADHD kid. :roll: [/quote]
