The parents are telling a 7 year old that a test is more important then spending time with friends and family. And you think that is a good message to send? [/quote]

We are going to Air Space Mesuens for Halloween events with cousins, and we still play sports, we just skip the camping because of afraid of getting sick in cold night.  I thought that was a good compromise.

And dont gaslight people about gerting into AAP after 3rd grade, it is much harder.  [/quote]

I don't see anything wrong with trying to avoid getting sick before a test that has real consequences, at least for those who care about this sort of thing. So many arguments on this forum are simply people with different priorities and values who want to assert theirs are the best. You can tell by some comments how little some parents prioritize education relative to other things. And then we act like the "inequities" we see later are solely due to differences in material resources.

Parental involvement--including ensuring a child is ready for a big test--leads to early achievements that then predict important outcomes down the line, even things like whether or not someone even takes AP classes and the SAT. Posters here want to make parents feel embarrassed for their level of involvement, likely only because of envy or to reduce competition.[/quote]
