"Equal opportunity" is a load of BS when it comes to LD's. The real world doesn't afford it, why should anyone else? Imagine asking your boss for extra time on a project because you're ADHD! Maybe that's covered under the Americans w/ Disabilities Act? I can't wait 'til someone sues for that
I'm of the opinion that if you treat a kid differently and not teach them to cope, you're hurting them more than helping them.
I always thought it was funny in high school that I still had to check in with the LD lab folks while I was in AP/Honors classes
I realize this is more common now, but it wasn't when I was in HS. For me, this was more of a pain than anything else.
When I went to college, I never bothered informing anyone of any of my supposed shortcomings. I made it just fine.
