[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s so wrong with flagging tests with extra time? They should be looked st differently. I think it’s great your child with slow processing speed (or not anymore) can get a 35 on the ACT. Why wouldn’t colleges think that too? The test is flagged and maybe there is an explanation as to why. “Student has received 1.5 time because of low processing speed disability.” If parents are arguing as they are here about it not really giving their child an advantage surely the makers of the test agree. [/quote] The accommodations level the playing field. That's what the IDEA is all about. Anything that allows the colleges to pick based on who has a disability is discrimination. [/quote]
