A growing trend among students at elite schools to exploit accommodations for standardized tests has sparked outrage among parents and educators. Many students are claiming conditions such as anxiety, ADHD, and even gluten intolerance to receive extra time on exams like the SAT and ACT. This practice has led to accusations of cheating, as parents worry that their children are at a disadvantage compared to peers who may not genuinely need such accommodations. Reports indicate that the number of students receiving accommodations has increased significantly, with Stanford University noting that nearly 40% of its students are registered for special accommodations. Critics argue that this trend reflects a culture of 'gaming' the system, where families invest substantial resources—sometimes up to $20,000—to secure documentation for accommodations. Professors at various institutions have expressed concerns that this practice undermines the integrity of academic assessments, leading to inflated performance metrics that do not accurately reflect student capabilities. In response to these concerns, Stanford has announced plans to revise how it reports accommodation data to ensure accuracy. While some view the rise in accommodations as a positive shift towards recognizing mental health needs, others fear it may compromise academic standards.
