[quote=Anonymous]One of my facebook memories today is a comment that a search to understand what this NNAT thing was online brought up test centers for the NNAT. I was very surprised at this find. We had no clue what the NNAT was or that there was an AAP program, the research was an eye opener for us. Yeah, the test centers are real and there are enough of them that you know that people are using them.

Different schools have different vibes. Ours was not focused on LIV but we were at an immersion program that did not have LLIV. There are very few families whose kids attend outside enrichment. There is an occasional Odyssey of the Mind or math club when there is a parent who really wants to lead one. Many of the kids move into LIV classes in MS and take Algebra 1 in 7th grade and do very well in those classes. But parents are ok with a B in Algebra 1. Most of the kids will end up in AP/IB classes in HS and go to good colleges.

Honestly, I am glad that we landed where we did because I cannot imagine being at a school where kids are worrying about being in AAP or not and stressing about grades and tests in ES. And yes, our kid was one of the rare ones who attended math outside school at his ES, he loves the math competition program at RSM. He enjoys STEM summer camps. His friends think that he is a bit crazy for doing extra math. He thinks it is crazy that his classmates are talking about Geometry in the summer because there are camps and the pool and fun things that you can do.

But yeah, test prep centers for kids to take the NNAT and CoGAT still cause me to scratch my head in confusion. But that is why the tests hold little weight in the process now. Eventually the iReady will hold little weight because people are prepping for the iReadys. [/quote]
