[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This class also had the Covid years and grading relaxed during those years or at least kids had a full year of online assessments (i.e things were wacky and kids could cheat, do things as a group, etc).

Cheating!?! Bite your tongue![/quote]

The real cheating is the number of kids faking ADHD type conditions and getting accommodations for school and standardized testing, a game that began in Middle School, presumably with payments to pliant psychologists. An alarmingly large number. [/quote]

You’re not wrong. It’s a tricky game to play because [b]accommodations end up on the transcript[/b][/quote]

Can anyone whose kids have accommendations confirm this?  Sidwell's transcripts show the kids have accommendations, such as extended time?
[/quote]

To my knowledge, this is not the case. Likely even be legally prohibited. Accommodations do not show on the transcript. If they did, it would be the end of the accommodations game and most would stop playing.[/quote]

Not illegal Section 504 and Title II do not contain specific confidentiality requirements
There’s a way to signal part when the school thinks the parents are pushing it [/quote]
