- Brian will have 1 hour and a half to complete the test
- this is Kyle, he is a neurotypical student
- this is Brian, he is a neurodivergent student.
- Kyle will have 1 hour to take the test
- HEY! why does he get a longer time to complete the test
- because his brain doesn't function as fast as your brain, his brain is not any less smart. he needs more time to complete the test
- Oh, that makes sense.
- After the Test . . .
- Kyle, you will have 1 hour of homework per class tonight.
- that means I have 4 hours of work today!
- That means I have 6 hours of homework!!!
- No it doesn-
- wait . . .
- but that doesn't matter
- *awkward laugh*
- I don't have that amount of time to complete 6 hours of homework!
- The Next Day . . .
- looks like Ms Johnson isn't here
- I rushed through all my homework and got it done in 4 hours
- I got my homework done in 4 hours and I feel really confident in my work
- but yeah, I don't think you are able to display your academic potential because of your neurodivergence, that's not how it should be.
- But just like Ms Johnson said, that's just the way it is.
- Unless . . .
- I would go to the academic dean's office and present that all students should have less homework because it is making neurodivergent kids unable to show their academic potential
- I would present the same idea to a committee of teachers, where they would vote on whether this was an idea to consider facilitating.
- this is one of many ways we can hope to facilitate change in our community
