[quote=Anonymous]Everyone: It's important to pursue outside activities, to show you have interests beyond the classroom and that you are well-rounded person. OP's kid: I REFUSE! OP: THIS IS NOT FAIR! First of all, OP, your premise is garbage. If he is passionate about something he does alone in his room, that could work great. (The laundry list of "activities" does not look great on the app.( If he doesn't feel the need to explore this, he is lazy, not challenged. Second, what do you expect an accommodation to be? The kids with IEPs have them to be able to achieve the same academically. YOU CAN GO WITH HIM to volunteer. A normal high school doesn't need that. That's an accommodation. Or did he get the laziness from you? Third, why should colleges want a kid like yours? They can fill there class hundreds of times with the kids with the same academic profile. Fourth, how nasty of you to denigrate IEP families. You have no idea.[/quote]
