[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious if all the kids getting extra time on tests have to disclose this for college and/or does your high school mention on your application. My DC has been asking I look into this and I have always said no although DC could benefit as we manage some add issues. DC gets good grades but has to study a lot and is getting frustrated at so many kids with the extra time. My answer was always that this will catch up when applying for college but now am not so sure and wonder if I should go through the process for extra time to lessen stress. [/quote]

Begs the question...why not give everyone 50% more time to take the ACT?SAT and be done with it.[/quote]

Sigh. The number of teachers my kid had to deal with who insisted upon this bs...

The accommodation is there to make the playing field equal for the student with disabilities. You clearly don't like kids with disabilities and put the neurotypical kids first. The kids without disabilities don't need the accommodation. You are hurting the student with disabilities.

Also I'd like to know who these billions of kids are with extended time. At my kid's very large public school it is obvious who has extended time and it is very few students. [/quote]
