Fair!

Saw this poster this morning and it made me think of the exam access question asked a few weeks ago.

dont get it

Hi Mathew. Students who get extra time in exams often have to face accusations of getting extra time being an 'unfair advantage'. This poster represents my (personal) feeling towards that accusation!

everyone should be made aware why someone needs extra time,if more awareness was around then it wouldn't seem unfair for dyslexics and others with unseen spld to have help etc !!

I agree fair is not being treated the same its about being given the same opportunity whether that means extra time in exams for people with dyslexia. Therefore, fair allows everyone to achieve equally.

exactly.people deserve to have help for their unique problems etc,one size does not fit all !!

Dyslexia,dyspraxia,asd,adhd are hidden disabilities and are just labeled slow,thick.clumsy,odd etc ,its so unfair !
