[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But doesn’t extra time writing an essay allow non-LD kids that much more time to proofread and edit? They can use the extra time to their advantage in a way that LD kids cannot. [/quote] No, most kids are going to turn in the test as soon as they're done and then read quietly or put their head on their desk or go outside or whatever it is they're allowed to do once they've turned it in. Kids aren't going to sit there going over and over their work ad nauseum. This assumes the test is (like most, in my experience) intended for most students to fully complete in advance of or approximately the alotted time, rather than being a "how much can you finish in this amount of time, but you're probably not going to get through all of it or have as much time as you'd like" test.[/quote]
