[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see many of these posts like so much of parenting lately: people who love their kids and want the best for them, and in the process manage to hoard all the resources. When other people’s children aren’t that smart, we say oh well, those are the breaks. It must be the fault of their culture or their parenting or they don’t make enough money. But when our own children aren’t that smart they get extra time, help, guidance. I don’t begrudge anyone extra time, but then it should go to everyone. There are probably a heck of a lot of poor or immigrant kids whose parents never investigated their adhd or processing speed who could also benefit from extra time.[/quote]

I think there are three kinds of posters here:

-- no extra time for anyone
-- extra time for everyone
-- my kid needs extra time

You seem to think the third type is disagreeing with the second type, but they are only responding to the first.[/quote]

+1000. Extra time for EVERYONE [/quote]

I don’t care if all kids get extra time or not, but I do care about the level of ignorance in this thread. It’s astounding. It’s not about smart. Do you think your kid is smarter than a dyslexic child? Please stop equati g disability with intelligence. And there are plenty of immigrants making use of county services and/or health insurance. “Immigrants” and “poor people” are also not stupid/ignorant and seek out help for their children. [/quote]
