    3 basic reasons why people with ME/CFS can’t be as “academically productive” (learn as much in an academic year) as they could be before the illness

    Another reason I have heard given for not doing things more slowly is people want to move on to college at the same time as their peers or finish college and move on with/to the adult part of their lives. Again understandable. There can be lots of forces pushing people to take on full time...

    3 basic reasons why people with ME/CFS can’t be as “academically productive” (learn as much in an academic year) as they could be before the illness

    I’ve heard people with ME/CFS, and advocates for students with ME/CFS, concentrate a lot on getting extensions for assignments. While they can have a value, they don’t decrease the quantity of work at all. They just delay the work which may clash with subsequent work or mean someone has less...

    I couldn’t find a better forum to post in. Maybe an education heading or section could be added somewhere?
