not really! science fiction and fantasy are primarily marketing categories. but also, if there is an aesthetic distinction, it isn't "plausibility." Le Guin said it better than I can: www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/342990...

That's kind of what I mean. Why not just give more time? Why time them at all? Why kick up a fuss if someone needs another five minutes or whatever? I get "don't take all day" but you can do that without getting upset someone needs an extra half hour!

So such meticulous policing of test times isn't really doing anything to prepare you for work. What's it about, then? Is it just "I had to so you have to"?

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

I can't wait for the Atlantic to talk about how those who don't need to work a job to pay for college are essentially getting extra time compared to those who do.
As someone who was among the former, I admit an extra 20 hrs/week to do the readings seems a bit more uneven than 30 minutes for a test
