there was some talk kids did poorly because they got a puppy the night before. |
Now this is a much better thread! |
Those are strong words from you (and many others on this thread) that unfortunately have nothing factual or substantive to back them up. Your petty and contemptible words are merely your opinion. Nothing more. (1) Prepping for the AAP tests is not considered cheating or even unethical. Provide a single link from FCPS that shows otherwise. (2) Children from families who did prep are not having nervous breakdowns because they were pushed into a program that is too advanced for them. Please provide a single example of this happening. (3) Parents who did prep did not do so with the exact answers of any of the AAP tests that they acquired before their children took the test. This has only happened in the delusional fantasies of some of posters on this forum. No one has ever (not once) provided any evidence that this has happened. |

Where is the explanation? |
It is by analogy. The examples are supposed to be clear examples of cheating, as opposed to solid work ethic and practice. Prepping by practice tests does nothing for the long run other than inflate a score for the sake of inflating a score (to help one get into AAP). And "practicing" activity should have the goal of allowing the child's brain to properly develop. Not for raising the score on a single test. Raising an intelligent child should be the goal. The CogAT is a metric but not the goal. The thing is you can inflate the CogAT without increasing the underlying ability to do anything more than take the CogAT. That is a false metric. And again the problem is, the county knows this goes on. They do not know who specifically has CogAT's that are unreliable. But, if the CogAT is out of whack with the rest of the file, they seem to discount the CogAT (either way). They devalue the CogAT because some people prep. |
More importantly what's the crime rate of Asians in US compared to other races? |
How is that important? |
forgot to add they also hocked loogies at my feet, but that is a different story. |
what's their rate for enlisting in the armed services? |
And this screws over some truly gifted kids who are gifted type II. So, thanks for that! |
PP: Exactly. Or it buts the burden on those families to pay for the WISC. So, the net result is prepping for the tests does not help you, but hurts others. In my best borat voice: Nice.

??? Enlisting in the armed services is an option for individuals. If you think it's a good choice for you, go ahead. |
At least more important than lining up for taxis in Beijing? |
On how many more pages are you going to keep quoting this? Ten more pages? Twenty? Your analogies suck. And poorly drawn analogies prove nothing. No. Some parent prepping their 7 year for the 40 question CoGAT test is not the same as forging a birth certificate, taking performance enhancing drugs, playing recorded music at a concert or cheating on an RFI / going to jail and all the other petty and lame examples that you and others here keep posting in this thread ad-nauseum. Come on, produce a link by FCPS that says that prepping for any of the AAP tests is cheating or even unethical. |
