[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait a minute. By your logic, preparing for SATs - at home or at a center - would also be 'dishonest' since kids are practicing taking the test in advance. So how is going through a CogAT book different?

I don't see anything wrong with Kumon or workbooks as long as parents don't overdo it and put extra pressure on the child. We have a bunch of workbooks lying around the house, and DS often picks up one of them to work on for fun. He particularly likes word searches and mazes. I tend to think it's a good supplement and if he gets into a HGT program, I'd only be happy.

Same.

[quote] Because CogAT apparently does not have many versions. You may actually be practicing with the actual tests. Similarly to WISC, you can not even retake it within two years. [/quote]
No, CoGAT has many versions and forms.  In fact,  FCPS purchases a unique version for use each year.

[quote] I am all for prepping for SAT. SAT no longer claims to be an aptitude test. I don't see anything wrong with Kumon at all. Just don't think it is the best use of time with my child. But I plan on working on math with him at home. Simply just don't trust the math education he got in school.  [/quote] Agreed[/quote]
