[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What concerns me from a related article is the statement that wealthier students are more likely to receive accommodations than poor students. [b]What happens when these kids graduate college? Is an employer going to give a person who takes twice as long to do something the same salary as someone who meets deadlines?[/quote][/b] I’d be concerned about this. Of course there are plenty of teens with legitimate disabilities but there is also a subsection that are just gaming the system to their advantage. Won’t be able to do that once they have a real job though, will they?[/quote] The very small percentage of children who are "gaming" the system are probably from wealthy families (right? since that's how they're gaming the system?) and are likely to end up working for/with their families and they'll be just fine. I'm sure they're touched you're concerned, however.[/quote]
