When confronted with a test she can't do, she has been known to break open a pen and smear the ink on the table, her face and her clothes. Her parents insist, despite her low IQ and low test scores that she will go to college. Her father is a powerful and wealthy attorney that will sue the pants off of any institution that refuses any and all modifications and accommodations. I pity any school that admits her because they WILL have to pass her on every test, in every class, or they will end up in costly litigation. This is what we deal with daily in my school. It is why I can't wait to retire.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-72125604508759652242015-05-14T11:10:16.675-07:002015-05-14T11:10:16.675-07:00...me neither...me neitherKauaiMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581543514815246743noreply@blogger.com
