WSJ : Colleges Bend the Rules for More Students, Give Them Extra Help

barrons, your posts have been ridiculously ableist and just downright rude to those of us with disabilities. If you had it your way, I would sit at home in poverty and collect SS because there’s no way I could work. Or die off- maybe that’s preferable to some.

I have had depression and anxiety for most of my life. Sometimes it’s under control, sometimes it’s not. I’ve also worked since I was 14. I’ve never had a job that wouldn’t work with me on some level. I’ve somehow cobbled together enough of a life to have a family and a home by my mid-20s, even with disabilities.

I happily accommodate my students and I tell them repeatedly that there is NOTHING more important than their health and wellbeing. Why? Because there just isn’t.
