Ms Rosie Bissett:

Absolutely, as mentioned earlier, whether it is a "Sophie’s Choice" or there is almost a threat to take away existing accommodations. The extra time that exists for the particular subjects the Deputy mentioned was brought in for all students because there was campaigning by a lot of subject teachers and others to recognise that all students were struggling with completing those papers in the amount of time. As it was brought in for a completely separate rationale, I do not understand why it is even brought up in this argument. The threat around the spelling and grammar waiver is something that is brought up time and again.

It is incredibly unfair to threaten giving with one hand and taking with the other. We might give you this but we will take that away from you. That is not levelling the playing field. That is not fair.
