[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because so many of you have convinced yourselves that your kids are special learners who need special attention, accommodations, extra time, tutors and trainers and specialists, etc. and can’t face up to the fact that your kid is just...average.  You are setting them up for colossal failure when they have been overachieving their entire lives with the help of a whole team of specialists and one day they have to be grown ups all by their little selves.[/quote]

Oh dear, did you wander in from the wrong forum embittered spinster?
You really should have another go at learning to read. I don't think anyone here said their kid was special. But a lot of people have said they are unable to do the normal daily homework help with their kids. 
You are a horrible person. But you know that don't you.[/quote]

No, I just call ‘em like I see ‘em.  My kids’ classes are full of kids operating way above their abilities solely resting on the support of a team of tutors and other learning specialists, getting extra time for exams, etc.  You’re not doing your kids any favors.[/quote]

I hired a tutor in college when I needed to and that was twenty years ago.  And I was perfectly successful down the road, in the work force.

No reason the support team can't continue if needed.[/quote]

You obviously don’t have any experience with kids taking a schedule full of AP courses and a team of tutors and extended test taking time and other accommodations, including for standardized tests (SAT).  This is fairly typical in my kids’ circles.[/quote]

The accommodations and tutoring are two separate issues.[/quote]
