[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly who cares? I had a friend tell me that doing puzzles and reading to my kids for 30 min a day was leaving poor families at a disadvantage. You can't win. Somehow "equality" seems to be bringing down the high achievers versus just making the pie larger for everyone. I see that with so much right now in society too.

As long as there's no cheating or abuse of the children (I knew a girl when I was in school whose parents would beat her and she studied all night and couldn't stay awake during school), prepping is great. [/quote]

Pro-TJ reform here - what your friend told you is garbage. Those of us who are in favor of TJ reform don't have any issue with parents doing right by their kids. We have an issue with a system that incentivizes spending thousands of dollars and hours on exam prep. There are those who would conflate the two - those people are nuts.[/quote]

There is no law against prepping or preparing. [/quote]

Of course there's no law against it. But there shouldn't be a system in place that incentivizes spending thousands of dollars to gain an advantage. We pro-TJ reform folks agree that this applies to college exam prep as well, which is why we applaud schools moving to test-blind and test-optional admissions processes.

If you're going to try to make an argument, explain why there SHOULD be a system in place that rewards families for spending thousands of dollars and hours to gain an advantage.[/quote]
