[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]I know very well what I am talking about.[/b] No amount of coaching will turn a kid without talent into a professional athlete. A kid can learn the basic skills of the sport, but coaching and hard work will not make a kid without talent into an Olympian or professional. The same concept applies to school. Tutoring and prep can do only so much, in the long run, a child has to learn how to learn. The kids I know who have been successful academically were the ones who were doing it for themselves, not for someone else.[/quote]

You don't know what you are talking about.  No one here is talking about prepping retarded children and coaching and prepping children with muscular dystrophy.  Any child of average body and mind will improve their physical and mental performance with hard work, preparation and training.  If this was not the case we would all (and perhaps you if you don't suffer from early dementia) not bother to prepare and train since the dye is cast.  You obviously do not know what you are talking about.

By the way, even children with the misfortune of retardation and muscular dystrophy benefit from the preparation and prepping of mental and physical therapy -- repetitively-- and may have better outcomes and quality of life with this training!  Just imagine the potential benefits without these disabilities.

Tutoring and prep is fine.  The outcome or endpoint here for most of us is not a Nobel prize or an Olympic Gold medal.  Though most of these fine individuals will tell you 90% of their success was preparation/hard work and 10% luck!
