					<description><![CDATA[Last I checked, schedule is pretty much a factor in just about.....everything.

&quot;Fast Fast Sandwich Shop&quot; - We&#039;ll have that sandwich to you in an hour.

Delivery Pizza Joint - &quot;OK, so we&#039;ll be there in 2 hours with your pie&quot;.

Airline Pilot on intercom - &quot;Hello folks.  Copilot and I need a bit of extra time to figure out the weight and balance of the airplane, our takeoff distance calculations and our navigational charts.  We&#039;ll be departing in 2 hours, so just hold tight and our wonderful cabin staff will be by with a drink cart in the meantime.&quot;

Accountant - &quot;yeah, I&#039;ll have that quarterly P&#038;L report to you in 4 months, not the promised 2 weeks&quot;

Lawyer - &quot;Objection Your Honor.&quot;  Judge - &quot;Hold on there witness....yeah, wait...let me think a second....uhhhhh... I&#039;ll need a couple days to rule on this.  Court is adjourned for 48 hours.&quot;

Nurse - &quot;Doctor, the patient is coding out....what do we do?&quot;  Doctor - &quot;uhhhh.....I need a time accommodation on this one.....&quot;  Nurse - &quot;the patient doesn&#039;t HAVE any time Doctor!&quot;

Assembly Line Worker Bob - &quot;Hey, I know we&#039;re trying to produce 5,000 of these shiny new electric horseless carriages a week.....but I&#039;m going to need another 20 minutes to figure out how to install this part I&#039;m supposed to bolt on to every one as they come by down the line.&quot;

And I could go on, and on, and on.......

I&#039;m going to have to disagree with you Gasman.  True depth of knowledge does mean a person can quickly and accurately perform a task.  Never mind the business need for celerity in nearly every profession.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: Extra time accommodations.
It is truly the rare academic subject where a specific learning goal or competency requires an exam be taken pressure of time.   

Level the playing field, by giving everyone enough time that the clock will not impact anyone&#039;s final score.
Example: Write an exam expected to be finished by most students in 60 minutes, and schedule 2 hours.  Those with 50% extra get three hours.  Since everyone had vastly more time than necessary, neither the &#039;neurotypical&#039;, nor &#039;disabled&#039; students are rushed.  The exam will reflect what the student knows, and less so how fast any student can convey their knowledge.]]></description>
