[quote=Anonymous]If a student has an IEP (or 504) with an extended time accommodation, they would of course get their extended time on quizzes and tests. But from a practical standpoint, if they need longer processing time to demonstrate knowledge, or additional time on homework and projects due to executive functioning challenges, are programs that have a high workload and are designed to be fast paced really a good choice? It seems that such a student would be constantly playing catch-up - they would need to use lunch or after school to finish quizzes and tests, but then when would they retake quizzes? If they don't have one project finished on time, how are they going to be able to start the next one along with everyone else? That seems like a great way to create a lot of stress and a poor learning environment for the student.

I suggest focusing on having a strong 9th and 10th grade year at your local high school. Students at all high schools can ramp up rigor with AP courses, and if they are at a school with IB, they can join the IBDP in 11th grade.[/quote]
