[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepping is sending your kid to Kumon (eg) and only enrolling him in academic camps in the summer. Having do Singapore math at home every night for an hour, practicing an instrument every night for an hour... Having a tutor to help him get ahead and not to address a problem. Picking their instrument and sitting in their private lesson. It is not reading to your child every night, taking him to museums, practicing arithmetic in the car, buying a few workbooks... [/quote] All that sounds like trying to give your kids the best education you can. I think on this board preppingng usually means giving your child practice tests for the NNAT or CogAT, or sending them to classes specifically aimed at going over questions like the ones on those tests. I don't consider giving your child private music lessons anywhere near prepping.[/quote]
