Are Schools Too Protective Of Kids?

Like I pointed out before you always think you pick a kid who can do it but you are wrong half of the time.  It has nothing to do with your ability to judge these children.  It is just random chance.  If you were a perfect judge of these kids ability you would never pick a kid who is going to mess up.

 Completely different situation and I don't know how you're not comprehending this.  I'd say that you're intentionally ignoring it, but I don't think that's the case.

It's not half the time, but let's say it is because that's what I mentioned: the teacher didn't know about the part that kids screw up on because no one had screwed up on it that day, she wasn't around when I told the other kids, I didn't mention it to her that it was ever a problem, and it's not something that anyone would ever think that kids have a problem with it because it only happened once and the kid hit the backspace within a second so it's not like anyone even noticed, so her assessment was that the child couldn't perform the simple task of clicking from slide to slide.

I also never said I was a PERFECT judge of a kid's ability, and it's not even about ability, but that's just more empty rhetoric, which is basically the only thing you ever post.

Kids just get anxious and impatient, and it's my fault really for the way I made the videos because two of the three football videos pause for 3 seconds when the arrow pops up, so they think nothing else is happening (I should have only made them pause for one second, but, for some reason, I thought kids might miss it if it was only there for once second.  Go here to see what I mean.)

Obviously, you have never heard of 504 plans. 504 plans address barriers to learning in kids with such diagnoses as ADD and ADHD, dyslexia, autism, etcetera. Each plan is customized individually between the school, the parents, and the student annually. So obviously all students aren't treated the same. Two students with ADD can have two different plans with different strategies to help them learn successfully.

You work is commendable, but now you are treating all schools and teachers the same way instead of individually, as you accuse all schools and teachers of treating others the same instead of individually.

It's not 50%, but it's a lot.  

Just because those plans are made, doesn't mean that they're not treated unfairly or labeled in a group as a child that can't do something, as my example shows.
