I absolutely agree with you. Anyone who truly needs extra time struggles in ways that probably preclude going to the most competitive colleges.
Given that these cheating parents will resist any efforts to report who gets extra time, one potential "fix" is to give all students the maximum time permitted for those with accommodations.

Your daughter has something none of her peers has - integrity. They may be winning the admissions battle, but they are losing the life skills war. Their parents have basically told them that there is something wrong with them when there isn't or that they don't feel confident that they can succeed on their own merits. Eventually, most of them will reach a point when mommy or daddy can't run interference for them anymore and it won't be pretty.
