[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The accomodation-medical complex will fight this tooth and nail. So i wont fight that battle.

Instead I think kids who do not get extra time should indicate it on their applications.[/quote]

Brilliant idea.  But what will prevent an applicant to lie on the application, after taking extra time on the standardized test?  After all, we now have proof that some parents bribed to get athletic admissions to their non-athlete kids into elite colleges.  We now have proof some parents bribe to have extra time given to their kids for standardized testing, or to have their kids' answers corrected before submitting the answer sheet, or even to have someone else take the test for their kids.  In many of these cases the kids are reluctant, if not willing, participants in the fraud.

A better solution is for College Board and ACT organization to designate "standard time" next to the score of students who did not take extra time.  I am sure, no one will object to a truthful comment to appear next to the score of someone else's kid.  After all, the comment is true.  [/quote]
