[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People see it as unfair because of parents who game the system without a real need for the child but for unfair advantage. It’s a regular scam, often used for athletes but not limited to them.[/quote]

This is the problem with it. I don't think people are upset with kids getting extra time who legitimately need extra time. It is akin to parking in a handicapped spot when you don't have a real need for it, but you nevertheless have a handicapped hangtag. You're permitted to do so, but you're not who it is intended for and your ability to game the system frustrates others.

(And I hope you know by "you" I don't mean you, personally.[/quote]

You can't be the judge who legitimately needs the accommodation. I have a bright kid with multiple disabilities. Child is brilliant in many subjects but has significant disabilities that aren't apparent to someone on the outside. One of the moms of my dc's friend is an absolute batch to me about this. She has a speech impediment and thinks she is an expert on disabilities. She is an ignorant fool who is wise enough to be careful what she says to me. I'm fed up with ignorant jerks. [/quote]
