[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is a dipshit, giving them more time isn't going to significantly improve their score. Stop worrying about those people. 
Jackasses with money will always have an advantage and try to cheat the system. [/quote]

Calling kids names is not going to change the unfairness of the situation.  The extra time and calculator acccomodations will move ACT scores, SAT math section and SAT stem subject tests up to close to perfect scores. You have no idea how twice the time allows a kid who does not have a tru disability to double check their answers and even being able to go through all the questions especially on the ACT.[/quote]

I’m a DP. Language or no,that  PP has a point. Some parents are are always going to think that everyone else is taking advantage and  that there’s some nefarious reason their kid is being bested. Ironically, these are often the same families who are usually hounding teachers for grades, advantages on extracurriculars and so on.
