[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that students with LDs or ADHD can be very smart, right? [/quote]

Sure.  I'm questioning the need for extra time in some cases.[/quote]

It's not your job to question it, and frankly, it's none of your business.[/quote]

It is my business when my DC comes home and wonders why some kids, who act/appear/perform similarly to my DC, get extra time. One way or another, they know who the kids are that need extra time, and it's on me to explain why that's fair.[/quote]

My DC looks normal. In fact she's quite the stylish dresser. No tics, no behavior issues, no speech issues. LDs, ADHD, dyslexia, processing issues, etc. tend to be neuro/psych issues that just aren't visible to the naked eye.  Perhaps you and your DC need a bit of an education on this topic?

There are quite a few famous people with LDs so perhaps you can research this and talk to your DC about them to show that they look like normal people and can in fact be quite successful.[/quote]

Fair enough.  It was a genuine question on my DC's part, and in formulating my response, learning more about it was the reason behind this post.  No offense intended to anyone in the LD community.  [/quote]
