Do you prep your preK kids for the WPPSI?

Sitting them down and sticking these types of activities in their faces just takes time away from what they need to do developmentally. (Reading is different). The scores will be the scores but if you start obsessing about this sort of thing now, you have a long and tortured road ahead of you.

"Long and tortured road" captures quite well what anyone goes through once they decide to enter the private school sweepstakes. I wish I had just said no.

Why do you wish you had said no? Please elaborate. Thanks.
