[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I, too, feel sorry for those helpless kids who got ushered into test prep every day and told they could not do the extracurricular activity they loved. The kids who stayed with the extracurriculars ending up many times having much better college choices than the kids who spent so much time in test prep. [b]A kid wh explores a lot of interests is just better prepared for a good life than a kid who spends so much time in test prep.[/b][/quote]

Some of us have the best of both worlds as we explore a lot of interests and prepare for tests and tasks (e.g., test-prep).  Sorry for being a little greedy.  You can have both.  It's not one OR the other.  Maybe you have very limited capacity.  Sorry, it's not my fault you have low energy and capacity. [/quote]

Many of my children's classmates were only allowed to do test prep. After a certain age, their parents made them give up activities  in hopes of getting into a better college by getting high test scores. That was their goal. My kids were able to continue with their activities and do well in school and go to good colleges. The ones who have graduated from college are successful adults who are contributing members of their communities.
