[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you 9:59.

We've lost all perspective in this debate.

Legacies, uber-wealthy buying their way in through side or back doors, faux-disabled (or exaggerated disabilities) people are a tiny, tiny fraction of the college population.

The effects of the more mundane advantages are widespread and rarely questioned, perhaps because so many have them.[/quote]

Ah, but the sanctity of the SN parents who says the extended time is a level playing field but it actually is not, it gave a leg up to those who got more time than they should have.  Poster 9:59 was already on 2nd or 3rd base to afford all the testing and for his/her kid to go to a good school system. It is okay then then to have an advantage of the kid in the poorer neighborhoods, immigrants etc?  The “as long as my kid benefit club”....[/quote]

Proving the point.

You are focusing on one SN parent (an obnoxious one at that) and ignoring the half dozen on this thread who shared that their kids not to use them for one reason or other.

-SN parent who explained my kid getting accommodations in MS and 9th grade and letting them go for SATa. [/quote]
