[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The testing information is all online. Just a simple Google search on "FX county Level IV timeline" would bring out all the dates, type of tests, etc. Our elementary school introduced some students in some classes about the test questions, a few days before the test. My child was not part of this group, and I did not inquire. My older child had been part of the group that would see types of questions beforehand.

I think it is fair that all kids are familiar with the test, but regardless some kids have a disadvantage. Ex. We play a game with geometric shapes. The kids build mosaics, patterns, etc. this helps develop their thinking. Another $7on sale paper airplane making kit, helps them with folding exercises. My kids love these games. Is this preping? Indirectly it is. It is not on test format, but achieves the same result.

So if you ask me if I preped my kids, I'd technically say no, but practically yes. This preping helps them overall appart from the test. Should I now feel guilty that other parents didn't prep, or left their kids in front of the x-box instead? I don't think so!!

Everything we do with our kids needs to be intentional, bc we are their most important teachers.

[b]I don't know, but maybe at those prep centers kids do play and learn.[/b] [/quote]

I checked out their camp schedule. Fun is permitted from 2:15-2:30 on Wednesdays.
My kids would kill me if I told them they were going to "camp" and they got that instead.  :lol: [/quote]
