[quote=Anonymous][quote]People know the difference between general practice and preparation and "test prep."

If people didn't know the difference, there would not have been so much bristling at the idea of asking the school AART to take a look at their CogAt prep materials. They wouldn't feel the need to hide what they are doing from the school.

If people truly felt it was fine, they'd tell their child's second grade teacher all about it. But they don't, because they know it would affect the teacher's view of the reliability of the child's score.

There's a very good reason that "test prep" is referred to as scamming or gaming the test.[/quote]

Umm. Fine, I'll take a crack at this. You are delusional.

1. No one outside of DCUM refers to AAP test prep as scamming the test. Actually no one outside of DCUM cares at all.

2. At my child's base school, the principle told us that AAP test prep-materials were available online (I not making this up, seriously she did).

3. Teacher's write the GBRS. They do not care about or review the child's AAP scores. That is done by the selection committee that almost certainly does not even know the child.

4. AART teachers are not priests. They do not care or want to hear parents confessing about and showing their sinful AAP test prep materials. However, they may have useful advice on putting together a parental referral or appealing, etc.[/quote]
