[quote=Anonymous]So, as a parent of two SN kids, who don't get any extra time accommodations, or any accommodation apart from a reminder to submit homework, I am going to argue that if college is that difficult for your kid, then your college student, SN or not should not be applying to Harvard, etc..So, when your kid becomes a surgeon, is he/she going to operate on me for 10 hours instead of 4? Honestly, I don't want my SN or your SN kid defending me in court or being my Doctor, and if your kid needed extra time or person reading for him/her, their disability is a liability in  some professions. if your kid really had SN, you would know this yourself and would never even think of demanding your kid has a profession that can have tragic outcomes if that job is not performed right. This whole thread makes me think that all those pps defending the need for their kid not to disclose their SN to colleges, needing extra time, people reading for them... are in fact cheating the system. I know my kids should not be police officers, heck many professions are the last thing I would want my kids to do, for the sake of my kids and other people that would be possibly negatively affected.[/quote]
