[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepping in itself is not cheating, only if it is for tests such as CoGAT because, in theory and for the results to be truly valid, the child should not have seem, work on it for at least the last year.

That said, since everyone else (or the majority) are cheating, by cheating yourself (by prepping your child), you are just leveling the playing field.[/quote]

Fwiw, this isn't true.  And you may be harming your DC if they are admitted to AAP and struggle.  Unfortunately, a number of kids struggle, although you won't hear about it on this board.[/quote]

I am a different poster and made my kid prep to get into higher level math in our district. He did struggle the first year and I helped him. I was ready to move him down but he was fine on his end of year tests. He struggles much less this year if at all, and requires much less help from me. I fully expect him to be totally fine next year in geometry (he is now in Algebra 1). 
He will then take some relatively easy class as a HS freshman and boost his confidence without adding too much struggle to an already challenging first year of HS.
Sometimes it’s good to push your kid a little [/quote]
