[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you are in a private prep school w lots of wealthy families, you have no idea the amount of gaming to get extended time and/or calculators  going on for their kids. You have absolutely no idea how the whole system favors and tilts toward the wealthy. [/quote]

Sorry, but you do realize that everything the world has to offer favors the wealthy.  It's just how it works.  Health care, education, jobs, housing, you name it.  I still think wealthy people have every right to access to what they are able to pay for (i.e. a diagnosis for a LD), as long as it is legit.  And you can bet the majority of diagnoses and accommodations are legitimate -- otherwise College Board and ACT would not be in business.  Sorry, but [b]your mediocre kid[/b] will have to compete against my very bright LD kid with extended time.  He will probably blow him out of the water even without the time frankly lol!!![/quote]

Why do you assume that people who are against widespread accommodations have mediocre kids?[/quote]
