[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who said the school recommended an accommodation for one kid that we have not taken. My kid does not have a disability - Kid has an SAT score in the top 3% of students, but is looking for a few extra points. What i think is nuts is that there is a clear trend of kids testing in the top 5% of students who are getting extra time so they can try to get a top 1% score so they can get into one of a tiny number of schools where that is average. These kids are not dyslexic, they don't have ADHD. They are doing this to give themselves an advantage for a handful of top schools. If my kid can't get the extra points they need maybe they don't get into a school where all the kids have tippy top scores and I am fine with that. There are a lot of great schools they can go to. I actually think that's the way it's supposed to work.[/quote]
