[quote=Anonymous]Coming from Asia to pursue grad school in the US less than five years ago, I was surprised to learn that college students here want to get themselves labeled as disabled. It's such a stigma in Asia that many parents refuse to pursue alternative education for their special-needs children even though there is genuine need. But the article is right about anything and everything being subsumed under the label disability and educators aren't allowed to question if a student is genuine. I think this reflects poorly on American youth because if they can't handle college, they can't handle post-college life.[/quote]
