This is a direct link to the Nikole Hannah-Jones article. If you can afford to get the tests for extended time, should you do it? Even if you think it's not morally right, do you hold your child back from the accommodations that so many other kids are getting? What is the point of a standardized test if it's not standard?
I don’t subscribe to the Free Press and so couldn’t read your whole article. This is really helpful guidance for educators and mentors. Is there another way I can access the original article?
This is so interesting. There is a unique dynamic at play with private schools, as they can only remain open if parents/caregivers pay tuition. Does this put these schools in a dilemma? Do they please "customers" so they remain paying customers or risk having to close their doors to all of their students because they are not accommodating as per certain parents' requests? Maybe the question becomes: Within a particular private school's population, what is the percentage of students receiving these types of accommodations and is that percentage relatively in line with those of comparably-sized schools? You have me so curious now!
