[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you can take SAT once a year, like APs

all "extra time" are noted on test results.[/quote]

That's entirely false--extra time hasn't been noted on SAT results since 2002 to prevent discrimination and protect student privacy.  Don't post garbage on this site.

Extra time is the very definition of discrimination. And what student privacy when they already judge you based on some combination of name, gender, race, wealth, and family? [/quote]

That's your opinion.  And not a very intelligent one in my opinion.  Thankfully, your opinion does not matter, and the guidelines on testing are clear to all.  You will not see extra time noted on the SAT, ACT, or GRE.[/quote]

+1   Disability accomodations are not discriminatory.  There is no arguing with someone so stupid that they would frame it as such.[/quote]

They create different rules for different students based on labels and group membership. The definition of discrimination.[/quote]
You think it’s discriminatory to have an elevator for wheelchair users? But somehow it’s not discriminatory to only have stairs so wheelchair users just can’t get in? Because that’s the equivalent. It’s about access to material. If my kid has dyslexia and simply cannot read the test fast enough to complete it, giving them extra time to do that task allows them to access the material — reading the test questions. It does not give an unfair advantage, it corrects an existing disadvantage.[/quote]

+1  It's leveling the playing field for kids who medical professionals have assessed as struggling.  Some people on this thread are missing both brains and a functioning value system.[/quote]

If you're going in for life-saving surgery, do you want a doctor who needed the playing field leveled for them?[/quote]

My kid just finished his residency. He got extra time on the ACT. He will probably perform surgery on one of you at some point in the future and there's nothing you can do to find out if he had the accommodations. LOLOLOL[/quote]

And it might take an hour and 15 minutes instead of an hour. Lol. [/quote]

Great. So my infection risk goes up because I have to stay cut open longer.[/quote]
