[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS has experienced problems with this from the other side. Very smart kid, sailed through elementary and middle school with straight A’s requiring not much effort on his part. Then high school hit. A quarter to a third of the kids in his private high school get extra time for tests. He often can’t finish them in the allotted time. His grades are suffering. He is especially frustrated when they get a short test and he sees the kids with extra time finishing up before the end of the (regular) period and he is still scrambling at the end. He has begged us to get tested for extra time, but we are hesitant. What is fair here?  Should he suddenly get accommodations in 10th or 11th grade, and have people telling us we are gaming the system?  Or just suck it up that he is now a B+ student because he can’t finish high school tests in the allotted time?

Serious question here. What would you do if he were your kid?[/quote]. Have your son evaluated and see what he needs. [/quote]
