[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that the OP seems uninformed and not that bright.

School is mostly a one size fits all situation but the working world is not that way. People with learning disabilities find careers that match their strengths and interests.[/quote]
+1 My kid has some reading issues, and while they would love to go into law, they know that they cannot because that would require a lot of reading which is their weakness.

So, they are going into something else that doesn't require that much reading.

BTW, I would rather my kid not have this issue and have accommodations.  Believe me, it's been a painful and expensive process to get to this point.    DC was harming themselves because they couldn't understand why they were having trouble focusing.[/quote]

But the problem is that kids with weaknesses are insisting on getting accommodations instead of accepting the weakness …. [/quote]

actually?

This is the world you want to live in?

Where students with "weaknesses" "accept the weakness" instead of securing whatever supports help them succeed?[/quote]

DP but yes. You need to learn to power through your weaknesses and lean into subjects that are your strengths. It makes you more resilient. College used to be hard to graduate. High schools didn’t use to pass everyone. When you remove all obstacles, it makes degrees obsolete. [/quote]

Ah I see is this from your Hunger Games dissertation? Your Survival of the Fittest PhD?

Don't come back and pretend you know what you're talking about. [i]Oh actually I'm a clinical psycho-- [/i]

No. You're not.

All you're going on is hot takes and vibes. And, I suppose, a lack of self-awareness and romanticized, ideologically-driven conception of "how things used to be." Let me guess: When "we" were "great?"

Here is what is demonstrably true: There is [url=https://alana.org.br/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/A_Summary_of_the_evidence_on_inclusive_education.pdf]“clear and consistent evidence that inclusive educational settings can confer substantial short and long-term benefits for students with [u]and without [/u]disabilities”.[/url]

Like, a huge and constantly growing body of evidence.

Time to update the software, kitten, and let go of your demonstrably baseless, harmful-to-everyone dogmas. Spend fifteen minutes actually learning from published, peer-reviewed research, and show us what you find. Double-dog dare you, darlin.

Because universities are not reality tv shows -- and degrees are not prizes given to the last man standing.

And actual resilience includes self-awareness, self-advocacy, and finding what works -- whether "what works" goes through a university disability office or not. [/quote]
