[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL, you people are so angry...it is comical.  So glad my ADHD kid got his deserved extra time that he needed and scored well on the ACT and got into his first choice top 20 school.  As for what is done to curb the abuse, I doubt it will change much.  Maybe be more careful about who gets accommodations.  If you have a kid who struggled since elementary school, it is doubtful that kid is "gaming the system."  I believe it is more suspect when kids suddenly in late middle school or in high school decide to get evaluated.  Maybe just have more stringent requirements for evaluation for them.

But you will NEVER see the accommodations go away.  Sorry, but you won't win this one...nice try though.[/quote]

Sure it will. Your kid will have a hard time in a top 20 school bc of his SN.[/quote]

[b]LOL, I doubt that very much as he got a 36 on the act and had a 4.2 GPA -- extremely gifted.  They also have accommodations in the top 20 school.  And his processing speed has been improving, so maybe he won't need the accommodations.  Nice try again.  Jealous your kid only got in his safety I guess  :lol: [/quote][/b]

Your child is not as smart as you believe he is. He’s a 33 ACT kid. He only got into a top 20 college because he got time and a half. [/quote]

Talk about delusional. You’re cheating the system. Time and half would allow most 30+ ACT kids to score a perfect score. LOL[/quote]

LOL really?  Well if he is indeed a 33 ACT kid, I am pretty impressed by that given his disabilities.  That is why we need to even the playing field.  Amazing how jealous all of you are of our challenged kids.  Just can't handle a kid on the spectrum who can outscore your kid.  Sad.[/quote]

I have no horse in this race, but I don’t think this is true. I think most would be fine if your kid scored higher than their kid, if their kid was given extra time. But, truly, these kids are not being measured the same way and I understand why parents are upset. Accommodations that do not benefit everyone if given are different. But time is something that would benefit most and it is not a true comparison when one student gets more time than another. [/quote]
