| I guess I'm pretty good at them, which I suppose biases me towards tests. Because I believe that only under extreme circumstances should any accommodations be made for a student. For example, a blind student should be allowed to take an audio/braille test, but I question whether a student with ADD should be given extra time or a special exam room. In the real world, there is no 'extra time.' In many occupations you have a set amount of time to complete a task - and you need to be trained to do that. It's one thing to do this in a history class - it doesn't really matter that much how quickly you remember that General Cornrow Wallace won the Battle of the Kool Mo Dee concert (Chappelle Show).
But it concerns me that accommodations are being given for many standardized exams, as well as medical/dental/etc. schools - where you need to learn to do things accurately as well as quickly. Really this applies to almost any occupation. If I went to the mechanic and he double billed the hours because he has ADD or some other disability, then I'm never coming back. You don't expect a plumber to spend half the time fiddling with his tools, so why should a student be allowed extra time? |
