View submission: Study: 94% Of AI-Generated College Writing Is Undetected By Teachers
Bro I dated a girl who got to take her tests across multiple days in a secluded room and got to see the next sections of the test before coming back to answer them the next day. Her mom wrote all her essays for her.
I remember one night her mom refused and she scream-cried at me to do it for her.
She claimed learning disability. Really she was just a rich girl from a well connected family that never had to apply herself.
Like I'm all for accommodating for disabilities, but, and I mean this with full offense- maybe if you have a learning disability, college isn't for you.
Real life doesn't slow down and accommodate for you like that, so why should you get a degree from an institution that's equally valid to all the students who didn't need all these exceptions made for them?

I'm a teacher and I agree with you. I'm all for accomodations but at a certain point it needs to be limited, otherwise we'll have unqualified individuals qualifying for jobs all because they aced every critical part due to accommodations, which should weed out those who aren't qualified.

I'm just going to ask. Why did you date her?

Real life does. People with disabilities deserve to participate in society and it hurts no one to accommodate them. I got accommodations in school and I was a top student because those accommodations allowed me to thrive. And I use accommodations at my job. It's protected by law. No one has a problem with it and it allows me to live my life, learn and do my job, without needless extra struggle. People who already have a head start really seem to hate when the playing field is leveled for "others" they deem unworthy.

I’ve seen some kids get that accommodation despite them being regular shmucks like me. It was a trick a lot of students used in my university where they’d openly talk about getting that privilege to get more time for exams.

Real life actually does accommodate people.
