[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wholeheartedly agree that kids should be able to get accommodations that they need. But it should be noted on the test that the student had an accommodation. There is a lot of data out there about how many wealthy families have gamed the system to get accommodations for their kids to get them extra time on standardized tests (and wealthy families are also much more likely to afford the evaluations that are required). If it was noted on the test that the student had an accommodation, this problem would pretty much disappear. [/quote] Agree. Getting extra time accommodations has been a norm for a lot of private school students. There should be an asterisk with the attendant medical explanation and the name of the doctor that's signing off on this. Wealthy families have been abusing this loophole for a long time. [/quote]
