[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question for those who believe that prepping is OK--especially those who believe it's actually the *right* thing to do:

Have you shared the fact that you prepped your child with your child's teacher and/or school administration? Your AAP teacher, if your child did get into the center?

If you haven't, why not?[/quote]

I would happily share the fact that we prepped when the teacher and the AAP teacher share their methodology in scoring the GBRS.  Our older DC made it in on appeal after easily making the pool with scores, having a perfect report card for two years (solid O's in all effort and material sections), excellent work samples, chess club/ranking and a strong showing at the state tournament,  and mathnasium documentation that he was working at the 4th grade level in math in grade 2.  He only scored a 9 on the GBRS.

Point is, as they see it is no business of mine to explain how they evaluate and arrived at the GBRS , I see no reason to share who we arrived at our scores and grades.   By the way, my DC is doing great, is in the top math group out of 4 and loves the program, despite the lack of support from his base school's the AAP teacher and local school.[/quote]

This is crazy - if your child did not make it in, there is no way my child will get in.  Sorry you had to go through an appeal.[/quote]
