[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone talking about his much time these schools spend in test prep? And at what cost? You can certainly teach a kid to perform well on a test, given enough time and resources, but are you educating them? Teaching them to think? [/quote] No, and it is one of the vicious problems with the test. Affluent kids get to pass fail whatever. Poor kids are penalized for low scores, and their high ones are attributed to test prep. Which is, in some cases, true. I'm sure they lose a lot of time to test prep at some schools. Ko[/quote]m This new test is by design really hard to prep for. The only prep that matters is the one that gives you the real skills, which is what I, at least, want for my kid. It is not the only thing, but it is the basis of everything else. This particular test reveals what is real and what is all smoke and mirros.[/quote]
