Oh, even your students that are unable to use a pen and paper? Neat, don't know how they do it

    Are you aware that students that are unable to use pen and paper already get accommodations both during regular school days as well as at exams?

    Some see those as demeaning.

    There's an interesting thing known as "Medical Model" Vs "Social Model" for accessibility;

    Medical Model - you have an amputated leg, here's a crutch, it is awkward and cumbersome to use and makes you feel "other"

    Social Model - you have an amputated leg, it doesn't effect you as having ramps and accessible features it's so normalised that you don't need to struggle with subpar solutions, and you don't notice the difference as much

    You're currently advocating for the worse option, the Medical Model

    Amputees don't need crutches because ramps? Go to sleep.

    Why are you such a medicalist? Why do you advocate for demeaning amputees by forcing them to climb a ramp?

    Instead, amputees and everyone else should be outlawed from carrying crutches or assistive devices of any kind, and all ramps should be banned. Anything else would make amputees feel different because of their disability, and you're ableist if you oppose this idea.

    If they're getting electronic aids from the institution, then it should have an 'exam mode' that it has to be put into.

    I guess the only reason they don't do electronic exams on institution controlled hardware, is - I assume - they can't afford enough terminals. But they should have enough for the people that can't use pen and paper.

    That's already been the standard for decades in the UK, they're set to offline mode and incredibly locked down.

    I have no idea why the schools aren't doing that in USA other than cause y'all are somehow both incredibly behind the times in some fields of tech (accessibility, education, social care, taxes, politics) and incredibly far ahead in others (engineering, medical, physics, research, murder, warcrimes)
