Is that he best argument the prepping-is-cheating folks have: you know it when you see it?! If you're going to call us cheaters, at least provide an argument.

Our students study for curricular tests in math, science, English, history, etc.We rehearse before delivering a speech. Athletes warm up before a game, practice extensively, and receive coaching. Similar for musicians. Are those sorts of prepping also forms of cheating?

As others have noted, FCPS teachers themselves help students to prep for these tests. Why i that particular amount of prep OK but any additional prep a form of cheating? And what doesn't FCP mention this prepping-is-cheating policy on their webpage?

It’s always interesting to see the lengths people will go to to justify cheating. Do you also think it’s okay to cheat on your taxes? Because probably lots of other people are doing it, too, right?

I hope at some point in your life, you figure out how to know dishonesty when you see it, without needing someone to provide you with an argument. Adults should be able to figure out right from wrong: that’s part of being an adult.

You’re being overtly dramatic. Don’t prep if you don’t want to, let others choose for themselves. Yes, prepping for Cogat results in marginal gains, maybe around 10 points, but that really depends on the materials used. If you’re desperate for that edge, prep as much as you’d like. Part of being an adult is to worry less about what others are doing and focus on what you have control over.

It's also funny to see the lengths people will go to convince others not to prep. You know they're prepping and just trying to get others not to do it to improve their kid's chances.
