As a student with a disability accommodation learn it devastated me the new secretary of education Betsy DeVos see a response to Rep stammer. Tim Kaine on federal protection for disabled pupils.
As Secretary of Education, DeVos should be an advocate for struggling students - no other source of shame. It should be the first to say that students earn with disabilities assistance and accommodation - it is not that the problem is "worth talking", or that the case this answer is a way "should be left to the States . "flight and open pathetic for someone who has passed just the keys of the department of Education.
My learning problems are relatively mild compared to what it could be. And I am happy to find drugs and effective strategies to address them. But I work my teacher with me that these strategies work.
Unfortunately, some teachers are not prepared to do that, even though the law requires them to. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation and Americans with Disabilities Act Act requires teachers housing for medically documented disabilities to create. diagnosed with disabilities like mine are included to learn in this category.
Last year I planned a friendly and professional meeting with a teacher legally offered by my university and the Americans with Disabilities Act to discuss accommodations I need to start a new semester with all my teachers do. In fact, I go out of my way to make sure that all my teachers are my needs fully aware and be informed in advance if I programmed 50 percent longer time on tests, have received, because my body.
When I arrived at the meeting, my teacher laughed and said he was trying to get special treatment obviously. He said his aim was "to get me as possible." He refused to meet my needs, I will reject any room I'm legally allowed, I tried publicly to isolate me in their classes and to humiliate and constantly pursuing my disability as something that had arranged.
The only reason she was not to persecute me further that FERPA laws say my classmates prevented him about my learning disability. His words still hurt - Never forget to cry as I walked out of the classroom, felt more dehumanized than ever. Unfortunately, this was not the first time they treated me in this way, it was not the last.
It's not my job decades to support evidence that learning disabilities are real adults who are not willing to listen to conditions. It's my job to do my best as a student, and I have to make to my home. Being different is hard enough; should receive some disability accommodation as easy and comfortable as possible, because it is a vulnerable process.
Betsy DeVos proposal "that students with disabilities should not be automatically protected by the government undermines. What we need is support, no further questions or hoops to jump through.
Mrs. DeVos did wish that sometimes it's hard for me that my intelligence. When I work for hours at a job that concluded my classmates with ease, it's natural wonder in frustration - I'm stupid? Should I try it?
But I'm not stupid. In fact - I am a capable, intelligent students, creative. I have learned a little different than most of my colleagues. And for me to show my skills, I have my home, to level the playing field. Despite what I thought my teacher, I have to look for any special treatment.
It is a travesty that Ms. DeVos would not ensure that students that I have the time, we need to get, or other housing professional come to the conclusion that a student must be working at the same level as their colleagues. We need an education minister who is willing to fight for us.
