OHI has become the Emotional Support Animal of the education system

For every legitimate OHI designation, there's probably half a dozen that are taking advantage of the system. ​​

It's talked about in parent groups: your child is failing because they don't turn anything in? Push for accomidarions. Linda's kid has accommodations; why should he get an advantage your child doesn't?

More than half of the class has paperwork​ and many are for anxiety. Students will loudly horse around with their friends during class time, then look teachers in the eye and say "I have an extra day" when told to get on task. Meanwhile, the student who does need services has to wait longer for help from the one adut in the room.

Abuse of OHI is stripping everyone of quality education, and parents keep pushing for it because they sincerely think they're​ helping their child

EDIT: OHI means "Other Health Impairment." It's a common disability classification on IEPs.
