[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]Obviously, with more time they could out-perform their peers who have to stick to the time limit. [/quote] No, accommodations put them on level playing fields. [quote]Part of growing up is figuring out your niche and finding jobs where your quirks and strengths are rewarded.[/quote] Speaking as the mother of an adult who received accommodations and services in HS and accommodations in college, this PP is right. Kids who need accommodations are not going to be looking for jobs that they can only perform if the jobs are modified. But, when you are in school, whether it be pre-college or post high school, there are skills that are required to be even minimally successful that you may never use again. The lack of those skills should not bar someone from the education necessary to be successful in this world. [/quote] ‘The level playing field’ doesn’t exist and has never existed. [/quote]
