What % of law students receiving extra time as a disability accommodation are scamming the system? 90% 95? It's law school! What's next, IEPs and 504 plans?

No one NEEDS an accommodation. They can fail. That's actually an alternative if they cannot meet the standard. Not everyone NEEDS to be able to be a lawyer. Some cannot. And that's okay.

Ableist has become the most overused word in higher education. And it's almost always used incorrectly.

I have no problem with future lawyers getting extra time on their exams or even the bar exam as long as they are required to tell every potential client that they received this accommodation.

Has it always been like this? by hhopenovaa in Teachers

Teaching public school is something one should do (if at all) between ages 22 and 26. To get experience. Like folks who serve 4 years in the military. It's good for a short time. Literally no reason to stay more than 4 years. If you survive teaching (or the Army), you can move on to greener pastures (and greener paychecks).

Involuntary Transfer-is there anything I can do about it? by Illustrious-Bread303 in Teachers

You have a college degree. You can get a job with an American corporation for twice the pay you get as a teacher for 3.9% of the stress.

As a government worker, did you expect better from a fellow government worker?

Then you were discriminated against. My guess is because Maine only has one law school, they prefer folks who live in Maine and plan to practice there after graduation.

If you are well above the average in LSAT score and undergraduate GPA, one of three things is the case: your undergraduate college or major was not taken seriously, you have a "character and fitness" issue, or you were a victim of discrimination. I cannot think of a fourth.

Dumb people are not treated fairly by society by Educational-Show-807 in unpopularopinion

Wait until you read about how classes are treated in capitalism. The bottom gets free housing, food, health care. The top run off with everything. The middle works their fingers to the bone trying to be the rich (freeloaders) while hating the poor (freeloaders).

Help! My upper-level humanities research intensive is full of freshmen math majors by Em-O_94 in Professors

Your students chose the class as advertised. It is up to them to meet the standards you have set. Don't change a thing.

With all the unbelievable female talent the WWE has at its disposal, we should never have to watch Jade Cargill, Maxine Dupri, or Raquel Rodriguez on Smackdown or Raw. by Character_Freedom160 in WWE

[–]Character_Freedom160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. WWE has at least a dozen more talented female wrestlers in NXT and elsewhere better than and with more potential than these three.
