[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. When everyone gets accommodations, no one gets accommodations.[/quote]

Should only people in wheelchairs get to use ramps/curb cut outs, or is it okay with you that it also benefits a parent pushing a stroller, delivery person using a dolly, student rolling luggage, etc?[/quote]
That's not how testing accomodations work. If everyone gets 2 hours to do a one hour test, those with accomodations must be given even more than 2 hours.[/quote]
Just design a test for 3 hours and give everyone accommodation time.[/quote]

Many teachers at private schools already do this. 
If a quiz takes 30 minutes, they'll give everyone 45 and the extra time kids sit there for an hour and a half. Within a few quizzes most of the extra time kids no longer want or need their extra time. [/quote]

Must be nice.  My kids’ magnet high school puts out insane tests that often times, the entire class cannot finish.  The teacher just marks them wrong and carries on.  Better hope you got all the ones you answered right. [/quote]
