[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The extra time issue is rampant in the private high schools regardless of whether it extends to SAT/ACT testing. DD has ADD and does work a bit more slowly since she is so easily distracted. DH and I have never gotten her tested or asked for accommodations because we feel that she needs to figure out how to manage in the world at large. But now in high school she sees 25-50% of her class getting extended time on tests, while she loses tons of points by not having time to finish or check her work. The really frustrating thing is when they have a particularly short test, and many of the kids who have qualified for extra time finish it way before she does!! It is hard to argue that they are not gaming the system. [/quote] I’m confused. How do you know she has ADD? You said you never got her tested.You THINK she might have ADHD? (the correct diagnosis is ADHD not ADD)[/quote]
