True. There guidance counselor at their school should have informed them of that option.

ADD--the silent grade killer
I think you are getting the words silent and imaginary confused.
I know a few very high strung people who may possibly suffer from "ADD". In reality, for most people, it's not a learning disability, it's a high metabolism and a short attention span. That's something that can be cured at a young age with a belt. You know, if you give anyone twice as much time to take the test and aderall to study with, they will do a lot better.
ADD medication is nothing but an academic steroid. When you get out into the real world are they going to give you twice as much time to complete all of your tasks, maybe, but for half the pay.

So, what if we all had to take an ACT test to voice our opinions on this board...... How many of us would be here?

I would.
I've taken the ACT, SAT, and the GRE!

He plays 3A football. Have you seen the teams in 3a in louisiana?
Posted on 4/5/09 at 11:11 am to SteveLSU35
Mansfield is 2A fwiw
and his team went 1-9
but thats besides my point....if we backed away from Sentimore b/c of grades, it looks really bad when our other DT recruit has the same issues

You are correct about their classification. His team had somewhere around 9 freshmen who started. They had a crazy amount of seniors last year.

Colleges recruit by size first and hope to develop talent. Size alone will get you 3 stars.

The whole double time thing really pisses me off when teachers give tests that are extremely hard to finish, but 3 or 4 people get double the time and break the curve. Especially when said people are obviously in the lower echelon of intelligence. For some tests, double time is appropriate if you have dyslexia and legitimately spend most of that extra hour reading, but when it's because you can't stop thinking about the patterns formed in the happy trail of your boyfriend, you don't need it.

so are our players going to qualify or not?

They aren't really qualified until they graduate. If they fail classes this year and have a 36 ACT and a 3.0 GPA, it doesn't matter.
Ford and davenport are all good to go assuming they don't implode and mess up their GPA. Everyone else is in good position to qualify and have a good bit of time.
Posted on 4/6/09 at 4:54 pm to yurintroubl
I hope all these guys qualify, but you have to be an utter moron to not be able to get a 17 after several tries.

Not true at all. People with learning disorders more often have obscenely high IQs than normal folk. Make no mistake. Read "Edison Trait".
