[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]End of the day, we need hard work and discipline in addition just being smart. I am sure we all have seen really smart people don’t end up doing much in life because they are lazy or isolate themselves from others.

Prepping is scorned upon, but it does test if someone is willing to put an effort and prepare well for the challenge. As others said prepping doesn’t take you very far unless you have the capacity to absorb and apply the knowledge. Realistically, the test should be hard enough that simple prep isn’t sufficient and clearly isolates the talented kids from prepped for the test kids - similar to math/science Olympiad or entrance exams to some prestigious universities across the world. Open some free prep to kids who can’t afford it but have talent. I know this will never be implemented, but this is how o think kids should be selected to magnet schools.

FCPS board members are not interested in any tests especially difficult variety. Those tests will likely increase Asians instead of decrease them.[/quote]
