[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two college students suing some of those schools and the ringleader.  I was wondering when someone would sue those schools.

Well thousands and thousands of parents and students could sue for fraud. They should refund application fees for everyone that applied in the last 10 years and did not get in. All the real high scoring applicants that are told there are just not enough spots for all the smart kids- well that has taken on new meaning.[/quote]

Should we sue the College Board and ACT for abuse of the extended time accommodations? All tests should be untimed - enough of abuse by the wealthy. Level the playing field for EVERYONE- no more accommodations for extra time or calculators- give EVERYONE unlimited time and calculators.[/quote]

No suing them for this.

The Department of Justice told them they have to provide extended time to students with disabilities under the ADA, and in fact, told them they could no loner flag those scores.

Extended time for all could work, but some students will, of course, need other things as well (large type answer sheets, scribes, keyboards, braille, snacks in test room for diabetics) but I assume that isn't going to whip you all up as much as extended time.

I assume CB and ACT would seek a DOJ ruling before launching that change. [/quote]
