[quote=Anonymous]My issue is not with kids who have conditions that genuinely mean they need extra time. My issue is with the fact that the procedures one must undertake to be given extra time on the tests are significantly more likely to sought/requested/pushed for by wealthy white parents. And over the past 10 years or so, I’ve seen that it is now significantly easier to get the extra time you want for your child, to the extent that I think there are many kids who technically don’t have one of the original conditions or circumstances extra time was meant to address. I’m a high school teacher and am vaguely sickened by the fact that our principal proudly tells parents and teachers that “our counsellor knows all the back doors to making sure we get extra time.” It is a rigged system and I know the same “support” is not given to poor kids at public schools with parents who don’t know or care how to request and push for the accommodations.
