[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, more kids are being diagnosed and supported with disabilities, but the fact that extra time on tests nearly TRIPLED when they stopped disclosing the extra time to universities suggests there is some serious cheating going on here. [/quote] If your kid had learning challenges, neurological deficits like slow processing or difficulty writing, ADHD, or autism, would you want to disclose that on a college application when it's so hard to get accepted as it is? My kid is intellectually gifted but has all of the above. Some people choose to disclose in applications but many don't for fear of rejection (knowing that with accommodations they will handle college just fine). So it makes sense that the number of people using accommodations would spike when privacy laws kicked in.[/quote]
