[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol!! My friend is a school psych at one of these W schools and they told me the amount of parents who demand a 504 for “adhd” to get extended time in high school is unbelievable. Parents will even get bogus Dr notes or private evals to get this documentation to get these 504s before leaving onto college. It’s 100% scamming the system [/quote]

If they are scoring higher with accommodations, that’s direct proof that they need the accommodations.

Not scamming the system. The system is scamming the kids who need time but don’t get it. Call your local equity officer.[/quote]

This.  Kids that need extra time benefit from extra time.  Kids that do not need extra time do not benefit from extra time.  Multiple studies confirm this dating back to the early 90’s.

I’d be fine if everyone had extra time, not because it would somehow magically increase everyone’s grades, but because it would finally put this foolish argument to rest.
