[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The test prep workbooks are sold at Lotte Plaza, not Wegmans. Could be a coincidence I guess.

And if you scroll down, you will see the diverse students whose parents paid monthly tuition for Fairfax test prep at one school that promises

This place actually has a page listing how the third graders they "prepped" scored on the Cogat tests, with their names and schools. I'm surprised they publish that online and I'm not going to link to it. [/quote]

So I bit and looked at your list.  Firstly, it doesn't seem to be *that* many kids.  Secondly, most of these names don't even look like south-east Asian last names!

That said, given that there are no limit of students into the AAP, I am not sure why people are so upset that others prep.  That is not to imply that I am for or against prepping.

You folks in Fairfax would have a field day if you were in the MCPS school district where kids are competing for a limited and small number of seats at the Highly Gifted Center.  Fairfax seems like such a better system given that 12-15% of kids seem to get the chance for proper enrichment/acceleration, whereas MCPS only takes in the top 1-2% or so.[/quote]
