[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]...Perhaps there's no convincing literalist lunkheads such as yourself. But those of us with half a brain can read between the lines. [b]My AART also told me no prep was needed before my child took the test. If you need an outright ban in order to do what's right, I wonder about other choices you're making.[/quote][/b]

[b]Most learned folk do not find it necessary to consult AART to inquire whether "prep" is needed or when and how to work with your own children on reading, quantitative, and problem solving skills.  This  learning interactions with one's children are somehow innate and build the foundation and habits of discipline, hard work and prep.  Education is a natural habit in some households without the anxiety you exhibit.[/b]
No consultation with teachers, AART or stealing questions and answers are necessary.

I am sure athletics, preparation and hard work are a habit with the Manning family also...little anxiety.  But the discipline, hard work and prep is a natural habit in that household.  No need to cheat or steal the opposing teams' play book.  Beat them up fair and square through hard work and preparation.  The Mannings are not as foolish as some to think genes, and not hard work and prep, will win them a 
super bowl.

Huh?   I never consulted anyone.  The AART called me at home to explain the test because we were new to the school from out of the country.   So check your assumptions buster.  I've got no argument with education as natural part of households -- I think that's pretty standard in an area as well-educated as this one as well as being part of parenthood.  As for anxiety, the only anxiety I feel is caused by the growing numbers of parents who seem determined to ruin childhood for kids by pushing the start of this whole crazy race to nowhere ever younger.
