[quote=Anonymous]I actually had similar fears when my child started school- seeing the prep and tiger-parenting of some, I thought maybe my brilliant kid would be edged out.  He started reading full books at age two and has a photographic memory.  He is crazy smart and i have wonderful kids who re not all crazy smart so I don't think all my kids are geniuses.  I have four kids and I have no time to test prep any of them (dc is my oldest). My dc got about 10 points higher on the cogat, I thought dc nnat was way too low personally- maybe he was disadvantaged because he is so verbal.  He gets 90% O's with no effort.  Anyway...I think test prep is bs- unless you plan to hover over your kids for the rest of their academic life- but don't assume lower nnat scores mean test prepping for cogat, it's not accurate in our case.  Your post comes off as bitter though I am sympathic to the anti-prep cause since I didn't have the time to prep.  Prepping sets yourself up for a hard road IMO.  Regular fcps classes are mostly great and if my kid didn't need the challenge I wouldn't stress over it.  I am actually willing to bet that my super charismatic kids might do the best in the end based on what I see in the workforce![/quote]
