[quote=Anonymous]It shouldn't matter to anyone whether a kid is "prepped" or not.
We can't go through our whole lives with a tutor or outside help for everything we do. The point is that it doesn't matter how much extra help someone gets, in the long run we all have to stand on our own two feet. Some kids need some help to keep up, but the goal of the help ordinarily is for the child to get to the point of not needing help. It's not worth it to worry about other parents trying to get their kids ahead, in the end the goal is for the child to learn how to learn for him or herself.

In sports, a kid could get all kinds of outside coaching, but if they don't have the talent, it won't make any difference. Same with school. A child has learn to do the work for him or herself, that is what will lead to success in the long run. Parents have to do what's right for their own kids and have confidence in their own choices. I've seen a lot of kids grow up and I've seen which kids become successful, accomplished, responsible adults.

Do what's right for your own child and don't worry about others.  It all shakes out in the end.
