I have a kid with an LD and I am not at all offended by what CCtoAlaska is saying and I actually agree with the point of his/her post which is that GPA is sometimes more a function of parental involvement than student achievement. That’s not a slam to folks needing accommodations, it’s a commentary on how far many advantaged parents will go to ensure their child makes good grades and scores. We all know the “mom who wrote her sons essays” or the teacher who got slammed by parents because she gave an “A student” a well-deserved “B”. The reality is that many high schools are under huge pressure from parents who expect and demand that their kids “do well” at any cost. Sometimes that results in transcripts that objectively don’t match a student’s educational achievement.
