[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t all of these “ADHD” extra time blah blah diagnoses a form of cheating? Yes. They are. [/quote]

No.  They are not.  If a kid has a legitimate diagnosis from a qualified professional, that is not cheating.  Sounds like maybe you are trying to justify your kid’s cheating through someone else’s disability.[/quote]

The diagnosis is frequently BS.[/quote]

You do not know this. You are parroting lies and hurting kids who are working twice as hard for half the reward and hearing people like you make them feel even worse about themselves for having ADHD. Be better.[/quote]

Unfortunately, there are quite a few kids that pay for the diagnosis.

There needs to be a better way to make it harder for the fraudsters.

Stop ignoring that it happens actually quite a bit…and get as outraged as the rest of us.[/quote]

I have not seen this. I have an adhd kid and know many others. All legit. We are public school,  so perhaps the Uber wealthy Varisty Blues types, but those are few and far between.

I thinking the prevalence of cheating culture is born out of our current political climate.  Sure, there was cheating before, but since 2016, we have had a political leader who has campaigned on winning at any cost, gaoming curry by perpetuating crazy lies and conspiracies to move the needle to his aims. It's this mentality that truth is relative and the "greater truth " is the "truth " that suits me. So students think the greater truth is that they need to pass this class, which isn't truth at all, just what will serve them because truth seems to be relative now. [/quote]

So, isn't the easy solution to just give everyone extra time?

So unlimited time for everyone?  I’m a parent of a kid with LDs.  I couldn’t care less if your kid gets unlimited time.  I just know every assignment, every reading, etc. takes my kid twice as much time as yours so I get why she needs extra time, but if you feel it’s cheating, I’d rather your kid get extra time too than call my kid a cheater (which I firmly believe she is not). I wish parents of neurotypical kids would understand how hard it is to function with an LD, but whatever.  [/quote]
