Education around the World

I'd like to share a bit about what happened during my first semester back to school since the early 90's. Not telling my age, but know of the maturity I've decided to further my career with additional education.

First of all, I've hidden disabilities, with documentation to request special needs. That being said, the community I currently reside in is still rescuing dinosaurs, "Yep that ancient". (If it doesn't need assistance and no one asks then just move on) This is how the community works. Even though laws are provided to protect this class, enforcing it is like pulling a tooth from (that dinosaur).

I believe in "FREE EDUCATION". I think it's what makes the world go around. The knowledge consumed grows with greatness. Although, the downside to that, may be greed and  mostly it's the governments, or wealthy paying our governments off.

As I requested; specific accommodations for specific needs to be equal as another student inside a classroom as well as participation among other's, this request was like a GREAT BIG ?. 

HELLO! This is end 2014. We live with electronic devices for crying out loud. If life is that simple than you would think providing assistance for a student could be simply, appropriately, and properly managed.

But! NOOOooooooo! Struggling from one obstacle to another in order to receive equal opportunities was extremely stressful, rude, and unlawful. These requests were not into full effect until the last 4-weeks of the semester. 

After finals, came grades, and the applying for the next semester grants to get a degree of ones desire. But, instead a Professor whom you thought was fair decides you don't deserve a passing grade, with or without accommodations.

Ask yourselves, "Am I worth a fair grade"! Yes, you are; this Professor apparently needs a check up from the neck up or retire and step down. Now that phrase is meant to be unkind, I know. But allowing another to judge your worth is not fair or kind either!

Education builds strength, character, and increases knowledge to greatness. The fight continues all around the World!
