[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that most kids who get accommodations actually do need them. (Parent of two kids with LDs who have had extra time as an accommodation since around the age of 10 for each - and until quite recently it was like pulling teeth to get them to use their accommodations, because they didn't want to "stand out" or have people "think they were dumb." If kids who don't need them are getting accommodations, I think the focus should be on unethical psychologists who are certifying fake LDs, not on the fact that the College Board allows accommodations for kids with documented disabilities. [/quote] So what happens when the kids get in the work force? I'm still amazed that half of the kids in a Calculus class get accomodations.[/quote]
