if the purpose of a class is for students to learn the material and the grade is a measure of how well they have learned it.

That is debatable, some students are capable of learning things very quickly; however students for example who the school says are "diagnosed" with ADHD can't seem to pay attention long enough to write it down, thus lower grades and and IEP.

Also from a person who is 'diagnosed' with ADHD and is still in Highschool. ADHD is not some disease, it is just a lable for students who are capable of doing the work but just do not get good grades. (trust me i have ADHD and 'can' get good grades but I don't)

its a way the school puts the blame of the student getting bad grades on genetics or enviorment rather than themselves
