[quote=Anonymous]I was wondering if other countries provide free education in selective programs to non-citizens and didn't find exactly what I was looking for but came across this interesting article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/oct/11/grammar-schools-tuition-private-tutor So, the whole standardized prepping thing is happening in England as well. Interesting comment by an educator: "Parents of five-year-olds have rung the National Grammar Schools Association (NGSA) to ask when they should start tutoring arrangements. "It is not just weeks before the 11-plus that parents are thinking about this, it is years," said Jenny Jones a former grammar school head and secretary of the association. The risk, she added, was that children passed the exams because they had been drilled to do so and then could not cope once they entered the school." Very much like Fairfax County![/quote]
