[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I wish that more of the parents on here who have kids who legitimately require accommodations could actually see the scrutiny here as a good thing, as those who falsely claim accommodations make it harder for those who truly need them.[/b] But most of those parents retreat to 'but my kid . . .' kind of arguments, and a failure to actually explain (or even be willing to have a conversation) around the nuances of when it's appropriate to have accommodations and when it's not. [/quote] Agreed. They wouldn't be as supportive of this if their kids attended a private school where everyone is plunking down $8K to get their neurotypical kids extra time for "anxiety." You know who has a lot of anxiety? Academically mediocre kids who are under pressure from their parents to get high grades at a school that is over their head so they can get into a top college.
