[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two truths about prepping:
1)  I helps on the test
2)  it does not help outside of the test [/quote]
#2 is not a truth. Not at all.  It may be indirect, but learning a solid work ethic and striving to do more than the minimum required are life lasting positive lessons.  The peer pressure that comes from time spent with other Tiger cubs is much more positive than hanging out at the Mall.  Being prepared for whatever is next is good....
[quote=Anonymous]It skews the results for everyone else, and results in other measures being factored in more strongly.[/quote]  I suppose it does add work ethic to the mix which favors those that have it but you have not sold me that is a bad thing.  In fact, I think it's a good thing.
[quote=Anonymous]My DD did not prep, got good *but not great* scores, but got a great GBRS, and is doing fine.   I do not have to remind her to do her school work, and only help her when asked.[/quote]
Great! You should be proud of your family.  You've raised your child well.  Now please let the rest of us raise our kids.
[quote=Anonymous]I have met the tiger moms that are prepping there kids, always pushing them.  The kids are not happy.  Period.[/quote]
Maybe, I don't know what kids you are refering to, but they are the exception.  The vast majority of Tiger Cubs I've seen are very happy.  Mine certainly are.
[quote=Anonymous]Life is too short to worry about the score on a 3rd grade test.  [/quote]
Not Really.  My kids future is my number one priority.  Maybe I'll have to miss the next showing of American Idiot on TV but I'll make the time to help them maximize their potential.[/quote]
