+1 What a cuckoo post.   Legitimate accommodations for kids with learning needs are required by law.   And if you had evidence of teachers changing answers on standardized tests, you would have reported it.  But you don't.[/quote]

Truth hurts. Many schools direct kids to a certain Dr and suddenly they an ld. I had no idea about extra time until my kid brought it up.  DC noticed that suddenly a quarter of the class was getting extra time. Some kids would go into separate rooms as well. Happened on an outplacement year. Also found out that kids were getting extra tutoring that had FA for free. There is a lot of murky stuff going on at these schools.
