More than 750 families benefited from college cheating scheme, ringleader says

I am married to someone who was given 50% extra time on all exams due to a disability. This continued all the way up through college.

Shockingly, when she landed her first real job, she had an extremely difficult time finishing things within reasonable amounts of time. This prevented her from moving up to the position she wanted and has since switched, at least temporarily, careers to something that doesn't have demands that are as time-sensitive.

Besides work, she in general, has no capacity to do anything in a time-efficient manner. She is typically late to everything and has no understanding of how long things will take. I often ask her for time estimates on certain things, and she is just completely clueless.

In the end, I have no doubt that making the accommodation to always offer her additional time to complete her tasks up until the age of 22 is responsible for her complete and total lack of time management. I absolutely abhor this system, and while I can understand why it may be needed for young children, once they reach high school at the latest, it's time to stop coddling them. Because the real world absolutely does not.
