I think that’s terrific advice, kmc. If you know there is a particular atypical academic difficulty, plan in advance to document and seek -as best as one can- accommodations for this in advance. Some here feel making the school aware of problems in advance is enough. Some feel it’s ok not to ask, or to press for info, then if school accepts them it becomes the schools’ responsibility. Some feel if student has seen how others were treated it’s ok to assume this student will be treated the same way.
Too bad the P student and family didn’t act on this kind of responsibility before her enrollment. Some of her problems may have been eliminated, or at least minimized.
