truth is, the system is there to be gamed, and most students feel that if you’re not gaming it, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage.
this is the issue with 1) not enforcing rules and making exemptions for everything and bowing to political pressure and 2) a high trust society morphing to a low trust society
when people see other people cheating, scamming, breaking a law, cutting lines, etc with 0 repercussion, others will follow…then when people see more people doing it with no repercussion, more follow and it snowballs
-government scams
-welfare scams
-parking in handicap spots
-using wheelchairs to get onto plans
-bringing your dog everywhere calling it a service dog
-driving without insurance
-“protests” that are actually violent riots
-being arrested for crimes but getting no cash bail immediately
all of these things morph from the same cultural rot in our society…and when you try to actually enforce a law or crime or tell someone they don’t get extra time on the test or they can’t park in this handicap spot or they can’t run this fake illegal daycare, you get a news crew and social media sob stories everywhere which make mentally weak women fall for it and there ends up being no punishment
so we just have more criminals, more scams, more riots, more people abusing every system because if they aren’t abusing it someone else is so frick it why not join in

The overwhelming majority of people attending these ICE protests around the country, posting on social media against it, etc?
White women.
Even in my hometown of Huntsville, which is still fairly conservative, just about every comment against the deportation of illegals and such on the local news reports? White women.
Same here in Idaho. All white women.

Back in my day, some fake pagan rituals and 3am music sessions were all you needed for a single room in the dorms.

Was happening with the MCAT back in my day. I imagine that it is still going on.
I don’t know anyone personally that had accommodations for it but I remember one girl saying she could take the test over the course of 2 days which is crazy
My class had a few people with accommodations. But many of those people weren’t people you would expect given they otherwise seemed well put together and heavily involved in other activities in which accommodations aren’t a thing. Many of them also had parents as Drs so who knows if some family friend helped them a Drs note.
I never understood it. In real life when dealing with an acute patient, you don’t always have time to sit and take your sweet time before acting

They are and it's a systemic problem. They're also at a disadvantage if they aren't using "study aids" (like Adderall).
eta: Similar issue with everyone in workplaces getting ADA accommodations for a standing desk and/or expensive chair based on a doctor's note that they have occasional back pain.

This is crap, as a disabled individual (I check a box on my taxes) I could not get anything from lsu.
It did not help that my lsu appointed advisor was in a wheelchair from polio and that guy just straight up told me no on all my requests.

Repeal the ADA
Nah. There are still accommodations needed for people who legitimately have disabilities.
Just need to tighten the belt as a provider on writing the notes that allow these accommodations. I have college-aged folks reach out all of the time wanting me to write an ESA letter so they can have an emotional-support animal (not an actual service animal) either on campus, in their dorm, etc. I don't write them. You have to be a client of mine for at least 6 months and have a valid diagnosis/show a consistent need for such a thing. Usually turns off most people who want the letter.

What if I offered to show you my wiener?
Dog, that is.

Are you saying he's small and docile enough to be an ESA animal?
Posted on 2/3/26 at 11:27 am to Centinel
I I think that 40% of our company new hires feel the same way.

I would have done so much better if I could have taken it over the course of two days.

Same here. I actually could have gotten an accommodation due to my ADHD and my parents raised me not to use ADHD as an excuse and that gaming the system was wrong. My dumbass actually thought that the accommodations were only for people who were not taking medicine.

True but in real life situation you have others around to help, smart phone to consult, and all other kinds of stuff that are not available on tests. Which is why I think standardized tests are a terrible metric.

and I was advised to apply for a "senior" accommodation, which I refused because there will be no accommodations in real life.
I was in college in the late 90s. We would get off work from our on-campus jobs at night and have to walk or drive back home.
Nobody in the faculty made any accommodations for us being in class at 7 or 8 the next morning. The only time you would see a dog in class was if the person was blind and needed a guide dog.

The schools don't wonder. They encourage this. They encourage incompetence. They encourage "gaming the system." It allows them to charge more, perhaps, too. It feeds into the grievance system.

That's the thing, kids never had their own room growing up. You shared a room with your siblings. Boys shared a room, and the girls shared a room. Unless you were an only child and they were spoiled to begin with.
Guilty as charged here haha. Only child
Started college and had a conjoined room for a summer class before the fall semester of my first real time away from home
The summer class, I had a black guy roommate who went to an all black school in Birmingham and as someone who went to an all white school, it was a time of growth for me personally. He’s a good friend of mine 18 years later, we talk occasionally and he’s a football coach with a beautiful family. I tell him all the time how proud I know his mom is of him.
We had so much fun playing PlayStation together and shooting the shite
It was a time of growth I needed as a spoiled kid
So glad I did that .

Most Stanford students are liberal and liberalism is a mental defect so you are correct.

Employers should begin asking if they claimed to be "disabled" in college.

Of course they do, it’s the new way to get by in America.
