only if you want to. 😉 but i also fail to see how these parents are gaming the system. extra time on tests only helps if you need it. otherwise it has no effect. if kids are routinely running out of time, the tests are poorly designed and that's the problem, not parents. i say this as a former 1/3

i taught at one founded by nuns and heavily based on catholic social teaching and in 5 years teaching a 4/4 load and summer classes, i never once had a student use the bible to make an argument in a paper. not once.

"require students to affirm them," my god. i'd be delighted if they were engaged enough to argue!

"Faculty may analyze such ideas academically, but cannot endorse them or require students to affirm them, according to the December memorandum." Faculty don't do this. No dept would hire someone who "endorses" prejudice. You're just giving enemies of higher ed another weapon to attack you.

gaming the system how, exactly? if you don't have a disability that slows you down (eg, ADHD or dyslexia -- which is thought to affect 20% of the pop, mostly undiagnosed), extra time doesn't help. if you don't know the material, and you read/process neurotypically, more time does nothing for you.

this makes me absolutely see red. i am a SPED parent, former K12 inclusion teacher, prof of education, and IDGAF if kids who don't "need" accommodations get them. if you don't know the material, extra time isn't going to help. it only helps if you have a disability that makes you work more slowly.

it’s absolutely an industry. e.g., as lisa delpit put it 15+ years ago, charter schools/ed reform are avenues through which rich people give money to their rich friends. billionaire money laundering.

imagine that, people solving problems know how to solve problems without billionaires deciding how they can spend their money

there are plenty of other anti-war voices who talk to leftists. you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it it fucking neanderthalitano.

bonus, the author isn't a bigot ☺️

you couldn't write a test that your own students -- the ones you taught -- could take without you in the room to answer questions? 🤣 sounds like you're the one who needed time and a half to learn to do your job. you're an embarrassment and an ableist prick all at once. truly amazing. get fucked.
December 3, 2025 at 2:23 AM
and this has fuckall to do with kids who actually need their accommodations, so you can fuck right off with this take.
December 2, 2025 at 8:23 PM
no, you didn't have to do that, you chose to do that, because you're an ableist asshole.
