[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving everyone the extra time does one thing. It puts those who have the disabilities in the same position as having no extra time. That's because the scores of those who don't need the time will potentially increase and adjust the curve to a point that ends up putting the special needs kids at the same disadvantage before the increased time. If that is the case, why bother even giving the extra time.[/quote] I don't think that is true unless time itself is still a component of success on the particular test. Better (harder) tests can be written such that time isn't relevant. Suppose we state the idea as unlimited time for all (ignoring, for a moment, logistics)?[/quote]
