[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extended time is different than extended deadlines. Extended time refers to timed, in-class assignments. If this writing assignment took place entirely during class periods, then an extended time accommodation applies (e.g, five 45 minute sessions would be 7.5 45 minute sessions). However, if this was a homework assignment with a due date, the relevant accommodation would be extended deadlines (e.g., 2 weeks would be three weeks).

Was this writing assignment in or out of class?[/quote]

This is what I’m wondering, as well. My kid receives extended time on timed assignments. She doesn’t receive extended deadlines on work that is done outside of class. I’m not even sure I’d want her to have that since it would encourage procrastination. [/quote]

+1. I don’t want that for my kid either. They can’t extend the last day in June. I always tell my kid that.

While the other poster quoting you 3 weeks might win that battle if you go there with the school, you aren’t helping your kid.   If my kid didn’t get it done in 2 weeks, he wouldn’t in 3. Mostly likely he procrastinated and didn’t use his time wisely.

Pick your battles.  You will need to in HS.  [/quote]
