for being special ed

no for being poor. i think being poor is a justified EAS reason, especially with the tutoring favorable HSC for subjects like English and Chemisery. If you're poor, you can't afford tutoring, and for it to be equitable you should get adjustment points.

On the other hand, mental illnesses such as being a schizo shouldn't grant you any points. Like you're telling me just cause you "hear voices in your head" or feel like killing animals and dogs you get 3 points for free?

EAS is fair, except when it considers mental illnesses as a legitimate impact on learning. Afterall, I consider my self mentally ill for not having a high IQ. Why can't I get points then? see how ridiculous this is? In fact my low IQ has a greater impact and disadvantage than some schiztard "hearing voices in his head" to them (though schiztards possibly have low IQ as well). I wish my IQ was at least 120 but it wouldn't be fair for me to get points just cause it's below.

It's also crazy how NESA gives people extra time in exams, just cause they are diagnosed with autism or adhd. This isn't equity, this is literally unfair. I need extra time as well since I have a very low IQ. My raw in the MX1 exam could've been like 57/70 as well if they actually gave us more than 2 hours like how they do for these people. Why don't they just give everyone extra time? 2 hours to answer 30 seperate questions is way too short.

they need to give everyone extra time then, not just a select few. The english exams being 1 hour long for 3 essays is crazy. What's more crazy is being forced to answer 30 math questions in 2 hours. Extension 1 maths should be 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Dumb. If so, then half of Sydney would get these bonus marks. Very few families have disposable income to send their kids to tutoring.

Tbh I’m thinking it’s more than bad handwriting because you need to submit documented medical evidence to nesa. Mostly provisions are 5 minute rest breaks, extra time is much rarer and I don’t know of many who have it (except maybe 1)

yeah the only person I knew who had provs of extra time was dyslexic and her grades (no offence) really weren't that good so it definitely wasn't an advantage for her

the NESA thing tho to be fair is only necessary for HSC like there's nothing stopping schools from giving provs for internals 'cause they won't get caught

sucks tho bc I know lots of people who lost like 30% of marks 'cause of handwriting

but yeah the only provisions I really know of are breaks, and for like ADHD/autism lots of the time they get like objects for fidgeting not actual time benefits (in my experience)

[lunaaaa4403]

that's suchhhhh a boring question for a 15 marker, they usually go for the evaluation dot points

I have those 5 minute breaks (no extra writing time) because I injured my dominant hand a couple months ago and I physically can't write for 1 hour or more without needing a break to rest so I kinda feel like thats fair.

But yeah nesa gives those out wayyy too easily a kid in my year gets to type all his hsc exams because "his handwriting is bad".

I think people get points if they're in the bottom 25% of socioeconomic status - This would obviously include people in Sydney, but also many regional/remote students who are disadvantaged because they don't have as much access to education resources. This isn't just external tutoring, but in school too; schools with lower funding/of a lower decile would have less experienced/committed teachers, higher rates of student trouble and less resources to boost education. Also, lower socioeconomic students (especially remote ones with less access to public resources e.g. libraries) would have less access to textbooks and paid online services, often having to work to support themselves or their family which in turn detracts time spent on school
