[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea if OP is gaming the system or not. I think it is not an impossible scenario as she came across as pretty neurotic, judgemental and unpleasant in some earlier posts.
However, it seems weird that if your child needs accommodations and it takes him a week to complete one ACT test that you would even consider having him take it again just to get a perfect score.
I assume the test is stressful for him given his disabilities. Why obsess over that one extra point on the ACT when he has already done so well.

Also, if your kid is in private, why make such a big deal about public schools inflating grades? Your child will be compared to others at his school rather than across the private-public spectrum.

Actually he won't retake.  I think I made this pretty clear in subsequent posts.  But you probably didn't read the entire thread...so I forgive you.[/quote]

[b]Imperious-- case in point.[/quote][/b]

It's pretty clear OP came on here to do a humblebrag/brag about her kid getting a 35 (which hasn't been confirmed unless I'm missing something - it was based only on prep) and only at about 8 pages in does it come to light that her kid is getting extra time on the ACT.  Now she's defending that.  I would be the first person to argue that SN kids sometimes needs more time - both of my SN kids got extra time on the ACT but it was brutal raising them, expensive and they both have very slow processing speeds which will hamper them their entire lives  - however, I don't feel OP was honest in the initial post, which means we've all wasted our time - and I do find that annoying.[/quote]

You don’t need to believe me if you don’t want to. People expressed an interest as to how he did on the test and I explained why I don’t know. I hope to know soon and will share the score at that time. Sorry you feel you’ve wasted your time. I don’t. I came here to get an opinion and justify my gut feeling that retaking with a 35 was a bad idea. I got my answer and had moved on. I am not the one who brought this thread back to life. That was someone who is curious about DS scores.  I know you are on the edge of your seat waiting for the outcome...stay tuned. [/quote]

[b]OMG, the post asked how your son did and if he would retake the ACT. YOU are the one who brought up everything else. And your story did not match the purpose of your post. Everyone is questioning why would a parent have their SN child retake the ACT again for 1 extra point. No one is impressed with you nor keeping score with your son.

I think this is an early humblebrag posting because your response shifts to some other ridiculous context instead of: YOU STILL DON'T KNOW YOUR SON'S SCORE.[/quote][/b]

DP but I agree with this. OP, this is your son's life, not yours.  Get his scores first and then post.  Next time be honest in your opening post.  The answers will be different if your child is getting extra time due to a SN.  [/quote]
