[quote=Anonymous]Bravo to the one poster who actually told her DC's teacher that they prepped. If you talk the talk, walk the walk.

The rest of you are just making excuses for what you know is dishonest behavior: it's none of their business; I would if they told ME how they scored the GBRS; teachers don't know anything, etc.

[/quote]Not every situation is covered by a legal statute. Given the intensity of some parents, the school system could never withstand being dragged through court if they made prepping an actionable offense.

Straight from the Fairfax County AAP FAQ:

"How can I prepare my child to take the tests? Can I see sample questions or practice sheets?

Sample questions are practiced by students as part of the test preparation. Sample tests are not commercially available. The best test preparation is a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast."

I see nothing about Kumon, Mercer, or any other program. If the county found those acceptable, they would not write "sample tests are not commercially available." Again, they open a huge legal can of worms if they straight-out tell you you cannot prep, and I don't want a county legal team on retainer just to fight these cases. But the fact is, if you prep, you screw up the results for everyone else, to the point where they had to change the test. And let me assure you, we ALL paid for that process. [quote]

Sounds ridiculous here.  Only a fool is looking for an annoucement from the "authorities" regarding what is acceptable to study.  If your test is in prealgebra you had better study prealgebra.  Do people on this forum actually need someone to hold their hands and tell them what vendor to get your prealgebra from?

Prealgebra is prealgebra.  A good night's sleep is not study material for prealgebra.  Most kids I know can study prealgebra and get a good night's sleep.  It's not rocket science, gals.
