What Accoodations Does a School Have to Make for a Mentally Disabled Student?
i suffer with mental illness and also learning disabilty but I've returned back to scool to pursue education and Im having a issue with a concern that was taken to the dean at university. The problem wasn't resolved. I need help? I submitted medical documentations to Disability Services at University. This is the requirement that the universtiy ask students for when applying for services through disabilty. Disability then, provided me with forms to give each professor regarding accommodations. Each professor signed off on these accommodations. I took ill while taken a new medication that was given to me by psychiatrist. I was ordered to report to ER for evaluation. During this period, I missed a major exam and some assignments due to time off. When I returned, I provided all medical documentations to all professors. One major test along with missed assigmnents can hurt you average. This particaular class is a subject in which I have always struggled with. I asked professor to take a make -up test . She told me I could but refused to give me accommodations she signed of on. Also, she wanted me to miss other classes to take test. I believe this is against school policy. I made very effort to take test before other classes. However, she never responded. I contacted disability coordinator in a effort to try and mediate situation. She got no response from the professor. Refusal to respond. I thought the next step would be to speak with the Dean of the college. I gave her all the facts regarding this matter. I got the impression that she was siding with the professor. This is the only professor that has been given me grief. I asked the Dean to just allow me just take this class during the summer. I wasn't given that option nor was the matter resolved. I feel my rights as a student with disabilty has been infringed. I don't know that I need legal representation, perhaps a advocate that handle these issues. But, I would want some suggestions.

Can a Student Be Guilty of Plagiarism if the Teacher Didn't Instruct on How to Cite Sources?
A 6th grade teacher made the following assignment: 'Research a Greek god or goddess and design a poster about that god. Included in the poster must be: Name of the god or goddess as the title, what they are god or goddess over, symbols for the god/goddess, who they are related to, drawing or picture, mythological ideas about that god.' The 6th grade child copied and printed pictures and information directly from the internet onto a poster board. The child did not cite the source, in part, because the teacher's instructions did not call for it, and the child did not know to do so. Now the child is accused of plagiarism and has had her grade reduced to an 80 out of 100. Is this legal? Was the teacher justified in her actions?
