[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. When everyone gets accommodations, no one gets accommodations.[/quote] Should only people in wheelchairs get to use ramps/curb cut outs, or is it okay with you that it also benefits a parent pushing a stroller, delivery person using a dolly, student rolling luggage, etc?[/quote] That's not how testing accomodations work. If everyone gets 2 hours to do a one hour test, those with accomodations must be given even more than 2 hours.[/quote] No, that's how "unfair advantage" works. If you have slow processing speed and need more time, an accommodation gives you more time than a typical person would take to finish the test. It shouldn't matter how much time everyone else gets.[/quote] … and thereby fails to test the very thing the test was testing for (processing speed). Endless extended time means never considering processing speed, which is absurd. I could even argue that it is discriminatory to my ASD kid who has high processing speed. [/quote]
