[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you bitch about things being “unfair” , please let me tell you that I feel it is very unfair that my child was born with a moderate learning disability.  I have no idea what causes it, but it affects his ability to understand language. 
My child literally does not understand words when people speak them. That’s unfairness.  It impacts almost all aspects of his life.  So please don’t begrudge him extra time on a test and educate your children not to do so either.

No one is begrudging your kid’s extra time. And u of all people should know how unfair it is for kids who are disadvantaged economically and have disabilities but yet don’t have accommodations. So why won’t u support untimed tests for all kids? Why let the abusers get away with this?[/quote]

I am for untimed tests, but wonder about how they would be administered.  Do you have any ideas? [/quote]

I am sure if we can send a man to the moon, better minds can figure this out[/quote]

Sure but the SAT is a money making institute and they don't care.[/quote]
