[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc kid had extended time for high  school in a 504.  Chose not to have the same accommodation in college. First semester grades were hideous, but had to learn to be like everyone else.  Because in the workforce there will be no accommodations like that for late work.[/quote]

Again, learning is not the same as producing.

It sounds like your kid has not been served well by the "shove him out of the nest" mentality. Sounds like neither of you has really accepted the fact that he has a disability.

But you do you. [/quote]

This is so frustrating. For kids who actually have disabilities, they don't just magically disappear because someone has decided they have to.  This is absolute ignorance. Also for you jerks constantly worried about how unfair it is and how the kids will survive in the working world, you have no clue about the working world. Just because you work in an evil hellscape doesn't mean everyone else does.  Worry about your own job.

So many people use this old saw about how the accommodations will hurt the student in the working world as a justification for them hurting or discriminating against a student with disabilities.[/quote]
