[b]There are one-two really bitter parents on this forum who think that their kid did not get a fair chance at AAP because other people (usually blaming Asians) prepped their kids.  According to these posters, it is scores and scores of parents who do this.  They have first hand knowledge that all these families are gaming the system, except for themselves :)[/b]
You can tell the tone and writing style of the main posters crying foul.  Then it gets parroted, embellished, etc, a big game of telephone where people hear that everyone is testing.

In reality, with three fcps kids (one a current 2nd grader and another in a center), I have never heard of a single family that actually prepped for these things, beyond what they would have done whether or not this test was happening.  There is the kid who complains about being forced to do Kumon for math (mom let him drop it this year), and the handful of kids who go to Chinese school every week, but no giant test prep machine.

It is mostly a bunch of manufactured drama by a few posters with buckets of sour grapes.[/quote]

Oh no, it's you again -- the poster who likes to insist that there are only "one or two" parents claiming that many parents prep.  It's so amusing to hear you try and convince everyone else that there couldn't possibly be more than a couple of people who feel differently than you.  At any rate, at our center school, it is common knowledge that prepping parents send their kids to a certain woman's home where she holds prepping classes for the CogAt.  It's no secret and lots of families do this; she guarantees the children in her classes will get into AAP.  And guess what?  They do.  Some are Asian, but most aren't (I don't know where you're getting that whole Asian remark?  Tons of non-Asian kids in AAP at our school).  So you go right ahead and pretend it's a bunch of "manufactured drama".  Hey, whatever makes you feel better.   :roll:[/quote]
