[quote=Anonymous]I'm not against prepping; I'm definitely for it. However, I often see people argue that prepping is awful and that those kids will suffer later on. I understand that perspective as well. But are we completely ignoring how smart a child can be? I can prep an average kid to get above-average grades, and I can prep a really bright kid (who understands concepts quickly and can retain what they've learned) to be in the top 1% of their class. My kids are the latter, but they certainly need support at home. How do you expect them to learn anything new or advanced without it? That's where I don't understand the hate for "prepping." We are prepping the right kids who are thriving and doing exceptionally well in AAP year after year. Will my kids learn advanced math concepts on their own? NO. Would my child get near-perfect scores in NNAT/CoGAT? Maybe? I don't know... but why take that chance when I know my kids are capable of it and I can "prep" them by doing some worksheets at home. Why this much hate against "prepping"? Prep your kids if you know they will thrive and certainly don't if you don't think full-time AAP is the right fit for your child. If you are landing somewhere in the middle, you can request a conf with your school and see if they accommodate advanced math. [/quote]
