    Of course, we are not talking here about students whose comprehension is severely impaired, because they are usually schooled individually and have a special grading system, adjusted to their needs and abilities. But in the classrooms there are often students with less obvious disabilities, which, although less severe, can also create academic challenges. Some of them, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, are directly related to learning and may affect the speed at which students acquire the material. Others, such as anxiety or ADHD may not only disrupt learning, but also are very likely to cause discrepancies between the students’ subject knowledge and their exam and assignment results.

    Aside from what was said before, it does not take even Einstein himself to figure out that what Ahmed had brought to class had no physical representation of something seen hazardous by mankind, yet Ahmed’s teacher had the guts to claim that what Ahmed brought in was the legitimate representation of a bomb. As you can see from the picture shown above, Ahmed brought in had no explosives attached; it was presented in a metal case and contained only circuits. Even someone who is inexperienced can determine that multiple circuits can only make a spark and not an explosion. This questions the hiring system for teachers in schools like this. Someone this inexperienced should not partake in the education system.

    One of the challenges I faced was in freshman year when I decided to enroll in two high schools. I never adjusted to the fact that the half days at each school meant I would not be able to commit my time to either school. I believe I had a difficult time adjusting as I was not only balancing the academic rigor of Conard High School and dance school but, also the responsibilities that come with having a disabled father. The days were also fairly long, it was 6:00 am wake up to 6:00 pm when the bus dropped us off.
