[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher of many, many years, I find that taking a sample test or doing sample questions is not 'cheating' or doing something unethical.  I say this because many children that have come through my doorway have a reading disability, but are actually very intelligent.  If a child does not know what the question is really asking, he or she may not know how to answer it.  If they had done a question like that before, even though the new question is of a completely different topic, the child now understands what is expected of him.  Many students do not have the support or encouragement from parents at home, and therefore are not exposed to the same learning environment as other children, however, this does not mean in any way that they may not be just as intelligent.  I have seen some very shy, poor, homely, forgotten about children come through my doorway that when given some encouragement, care, support from me, end up being the hardest working and most intelligent in the room.  I don't see any problem giving a young child a little practice test to ease their anxiety about taking a private test away from their classmates.  It lets them see what types of questions will be asked, not EXACT questions that will be asked.[/quote]
