[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My RMIB kid did not prep either. He's always been a 99 percentile test taker. [/quote]

Mine did! They started in 3rd grade 2 hours a day 5 days a week, but no way they would've been admitted without it.[/quote]

And that's fine too. I don't see why people try to make prep-families feel guilty about helping their kids get in. We did and, looking at how it helped our kids in HS, college, and after college, we would do it again! Yes, they are older. [/quote]

Prep is perfectly fine but shouldn't be required to access enriched opportunities from publicly funded programs. When the majority of those being accepted were enrolled in outside prep, it's time to rethink our admission process so that all students have a shot at these opportunities, not just those families that can spend the $$$ to purchase a seat.[/quote]

Game seems always unfair when you can't win. What a cynical view. [/quote]

And some people will say anything to maintain their privilege that gives them a big leg up on everyone else. [/quote]

Yes, some of us worked hard to make sure we can provide for our kids. What's wrong with that? Isn't that your job as a parent? Your inability to provide is no one's fault except you. [/quote]
