Disabled students do not get separate rubrics. They do not get reduced coursework. They do not get lower academic standards unless they meet a *very* high threshold of cognitive disability that requires a separate setting. Somehow I don’t think people are concerned abt people faking that.

Disabled people are not cushioned from failing in our society. They aren’t even cushioned from failing in schools where they get their legally required accommodations. The accommodations just give them the chance to learn and function at the level of academic rigor expected of everybody else.

As a teacher I also do not care. Getting extra time on a test hurts nobody. Going undiagnosed and without access to necessary educational supports can actually ruin lives.

In MA the state assessments (and our reading benchmark exams) are untimed precisely because timed tests confound the data on student learning because students with test anxiety and slower processing speed just don’t get to finish.

Honestly I only really learned English grammar (aside from parts of speech) by studying other languages.

People are wildly underestimating how bad unmanaged/undiagnosed ADHD can be for a kid. They really struggle, they get into trouble, they have unstable relationships due to poor impulse control, and they develop serious self esteem issues. It’s a miracle we have safe and effective meds for this.
