[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Way back when I was a kid, these tests were supposed to measure what you know. So if you study hard, do your homework, and understand what you are learning in school, you don’t have to “prep” for the test.

Now, it seems the tests don’t measure what you know; they measure if you know how to take the test.

As a parent, I will totally make sure my kids know their math facts, read widely and have a large vocabulary, etc., but I draw the line at coaching a 10-year-old on test-taking strategies. [/b][/quote]

Exactly!  And that is precisely why it is considered cheating, even though the groups that over prep don't want to call it that.  Instead, they want to call the white students "lazy" for not prepping - and even try to draw an analogy with sports.  BS. Give me a break. [/quote]

Straw man logic.  So you are telling me paying a coach to teach a twelve-year old child how to throw a killer curveball/slider/fastball (they shouldn't throw curves at that age) to strike out the competition to win games and use their success to get into colleges/MLB is not the same as paying a coach to teach a twelve-year old child how to best eliminate multiple choice problems or tackle test problems they are likely to see and use that success to get into colleges.  Ok.  [/quote]
