Oh, guys—you’ve turned my post into a battleground!

I really don’t want to continue the back-and-forth, but let’s be honest: if you can guarantee that no one prepares their child, then I won’t either. That would make it a fair competition. Otherwise, I’ll prepare my child too.

To be clear, this isn’t just about preparation. Some kids just aren’t natural test takers. As I mentioned, my child didn’t take the test seriously at first grade and was just answering randomly. It wasn’t until second grade, when I taught him how to approach exams seriously, that things changed. For example, his iReady scores jumped from the 80s to 99%.

Some parents give their children IQ books just to keep them busy—not necessarily to prepare them. Their kids naturally start to understand patterns and how to approach certain types of questions. So why shouldn’t I do the same for my child? There’s nothing wrong or illegal about that.[/quote]

So do the gifted work samples for him like all the other mommies who want to keep their kids away from the poors.  Why are you even asking?[/quote]

I don’t understand why there’s a fight here. I’m simply asking whether i-Ready would support my child’s appeal. I don’t need anyone’s permission to prepare my kid for any test.[/quote]

I’m not fighting with you.  I’m telling you the answer (just like you’ll tell your “gifted” snowflake).  Take it or leave it.[/quote]
