[quote=Anonymous]If the purpose of the test is to assess mastery of the subject, then giving all kids the amount of time it takes for your kid to complete is a good thing. It levels the playing field for everyone who has a disability, diagnosed or not,’and everyone who is otherwise slower than others. I was always the student that could accurately complete all tests in less than 25% of the allotted time getting maximal points. You wouldn’t want the time limit to be that of the fastest kid because you want all students to be able to demonstrate mastery of the subject not accuracy of speed test taking. But for some reason OP thinks that only her kid whose disability has been diagnosed should get extra time and that doesn’t level the playing field. [/quote]
