[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Most Asian cultures don't acknowledge that there IS such a thing as 'giftedness'.[/b]  Instead, kids are believed to be intelligent because they are hard working.  Giftedness as some kind of innate quality is actually a Western concept that is going to be alien to many groups coming for other cultures.  Test prep is the norm in places like Korea and the Philippines because it's based on a different notion of what intelligence is.  By the way, Asians would laugh in your face if you tried to explain that your child was differently gifted or had multiple intelligences.[/quote]

Asian poster here. The above is completely false. Asians do acknowledge there is a difference in innate intelligence level. Asians also believe in hard work. When high intelligence is combined with hard work, even better. Stop spreading false information.[/quote]

I agree, I'm Irish and think that too.  [b]Our kids study hard (or prep if you prefer).[/b]  [/quote]

Studying is not prepping.

Studying is going over material you have learned until you understand it deeply and hopefully completely.

Prepping is going over specific kinds of test questions so you can do well on a specific test.  It may include tricks or shortcuts that teach students how to eliminate certain answers and make educated guesses.

Studying helps increase your knowledge.  Prepping helps you game/perform on a test.    [/quote]
