作弊

我们首先要做的是
Okay, the first thing we need to do,

考试时间延长一倍及多日测试

What happened is, all the wealthy families figured out,
“如果让我的孩子参加障碍测试 获得延长时间
"If I get my kid tested and they get extended time,
他们在考试中就能发挥更好”
they can do better on the test."

我知道
I know it does. I know it does.
但等她拿到相应的分数
But when she gets a score
我们有了选择 你就会说
and we have choices, you're gonna be saying,
“好 我会让我所有孩子参加

分数是…你觉得会是…
And a score of… You would think that would be…
我们想要多少分就会是多少分
The score will be whatever we want it to be.

是她参加测试对吧？
It's her taking the test, right?
这不会出什么问题吧？
