[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the parents who manage to get their kids more time on SAT, why can't you admit that fact on the score report?[/quote]

As a parent, I didn't write my kid's score report.  Did you write your kid's?

SAT chooses what is included on the score report.  Given that confidentiality is a concern, they do not include information about extended time, or braille, or scribes, or breaks to check one's blood sugar, or whether one used a ramp to get in the building.  [/quote]

SAT should include the information about extended time on the score report, which is not confidential information. They won't and shouldn't report why your kids receive the extra time.

As a parent, you should teach your kids to be honest. Hiding the fact of extended time given is cheating.[/quote]
So, your view is that students should disclose that they have a disability even though they're not saying specifically which one.

[quote]Advocates for students with disabilities said that the practice undercut these students' applications, and -- with backing from courts -- their argument led testing organizations to end flagging. ACT did so in 2003.[/quote]
