[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, FCPS policy is so ununiformly carried out that I would not be surprised that a Teacher would tell parents where to practice for the NNAT. There are plenty of schools where the parents are obsessed with AAP, look at the postings on this board. There are AARTs who give out packets before they are supposed to. There are AARTs that review packets for parents. There are AARTs who do all sorts of things that other AARTs won't do because they are in violation of FCPS rules.

Or like how some schools maintain regular LIII pullouts and others rarely hold them. Or how some schools have pullouts for LII and some schools do only worksheets and some schools do nothing.

Thank you for pointing this out. I am the poster who provided the link and I just wanted to clarify that our teacher never encouraged parents to prep kids for NNAT. She, too, emphasized the good night rest, breakfast etc. (almost copy-paste what the other poster said), but she also provided the link for parents in case they would like to learn what the NNAT is and what the sample questions look like. I’d like to think of her as one of the genuinely good teachers, but I hear you that providing that link might have been against FCPS rules. I, personally, wish the test would go away or, if necessary, to have FCPS work with the publisher of the test on providing samples that can be shared with the parents, so we don’t have to look elsewhere to find more about the test. After seeing sample NNAT questions, I don’t believe that you can make your kid get significantly higher score by prepping unless you got your hands on the actual test, which I don’t think is possible. At best, kids might score slightly higher due to familiarity with the format of the test, but this won’t help them get into AAP without good GBRS and otherwise good overall performance. [/quote]
