[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well so for Pollyanna and similar posters, what do you make of the fact that many affluent students with little to no evidence of disability are getting accommodations in order to get higher scores? Previously posted articles and posts cited private schools where a third or a half of the kids got extra time. Shouldn’t it make you angry that they are giving accommodations a bad name?[/quote]

I have a child with a documented disability (since 2nd grade) who received several accommodations for the College Board tests, including the APs he took.

I am on half a dozen Facebook groups of parents with children with disabilities.  ALL have been lit up with outraged over this and worry how their children and other children like them will be affected.  Most prefer to express in safer places like closed or secret facebooks groups.  This forum is not a safe place as I think we can all agree.  It is hard to have a decent conversation here because you dont know which posters are for real and which are trying to poke the bear. [/quote]
