Prepping/Scamming the Cogat

[Anonymous]

Teachers have lost the art of teaching, parents have lost the art of parenting and everyone thinks the art can be bought from a test prep service for $50.00.

And some pathetic poster calls this cheating with growth hormones.

Children are not animals to be "trained."

What are they? I trust you too are a mammal and not from some supra terrestial planet. If you are a parent, children are to be trained.

You are being Speciesist... Are chimp (or gorillia) children that different from humans?

The pathetic poster would have a massive stroke to learn the bulk of her genes (> 97%) are identical to the chimp!

FCPS should change their AAP screeining test to GoCHIMP to level the playing field. The marketers could then market this test as an IQ or aptitude test impenetratable or impervious to "test prep" or "life prep", "tutors", "kumon" and "playing mental games with polygons, patterns, analogies, numbers and words".

PP makes sense. The kids could be judged on the ability to swing from trees and vines, climbing and poop throwing.

The very small percentage of genes that are different between chimps and humans (which is common knowledge and not at all surprising to most people) make a HUGE difference!
A seemingly small difference can make a huge difference, such as the difference between general preparation and prepping/scamming the CogAT. Sometimes subtle and difficult for some to understand, a small difference can make a huge difference in the effect and meaning of words and actions.

Yes the butterfly effect....because of the fact that my DD scammed the cogat, she will get into AAP, which will lead to TJ, HARVARD and then a Nobel prize for discovering the GoCAT particle.

A feeble attempt to argue you are much different from a chimp. No. Both of you reduce to biomass for biofuel.

The epigenetics, which control what genes are expressed, are very, very different between humans and chimps.

Yes, it's a crap shoot if you think GoCAT measures fixed smarts and intelligence

Yes, you're damn right. You are not born smart. Wait until epigenetics gets a hold of you after you slippery descent from the vagina. Chimps do not use the epigenetics of 'test prep" and humans do. This explains why it's important to practice and train when you are young to optimise any genetic potential.

But why doesn't FCPS educators advocate continual practice and prep in young children?

Is it social engineering?

Heck, test prep and practice for children is wrong and cheating. Just like abortion is wrong. I swear on my bible and machine gun this is downright cheating.
