[quote=Anonymous][quote]The reason I mentioned that 60% did not get in was not because I was trying to suggest that my kids are the "real deal" ...all I am trying to get across is that I am not sure that if the prep helped or that they got in on raw ability...in all the evaluation tests the prep center gave them, my kids were placed at the bottom of the class.

So - I have not really seen a benefit in content mastery but the boys did learn to sit for long periods of time taking prep tests. (Or maybe they stopped complaining...who knows). They did not really learn anything new and different from what their MCPS 3rd grade home room teacher taught them. Yet, when the time comes for MS magnet ...I will be getting the two boys there.

And - yes - I would rather see my kids run for President and VP together for our dear nation than see these jobs outsourced too,[/quote]

The test prep must have helped them.  I agree.  I certainly didn't hurt ... even if the only benefit is getting them to sit still?  This also takes raw talent astutely prepared, don't you think?[/quote]
