[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the same logic, it's also unfair that some kids have higher IQ than others. Eventually the only solution that can make you satisfied is to make TJ admission a lottery.

Better nobody studies and nobody works. We all stay at home waiting for the god send us food. As long we study and work, there will be differences. Somebody who's smarter and works harder will have a better performance and therefore it is unfair.[/quote]

No. Just don’t prep for certain tests that you shouldn’t prep for.

It’s not that hard.

It actually is that hard.  You can't force other people to refrain from prepping.  Even if the test is supposed to be secure, people will find a way to prep.  Your only choices are
1. Bury your head in the sand and keep insisting that people just shouldn't prep.  Wring your hands when half of them ignore you and prep anyway.  
2. Help everyone prep, so everyone is on a more equal footing.  Recognize that the absolute scores are not valid, but the scores relative to the other preppers are useful.   
3. Eliminate standardized testing and instead rely on more subjective, more easily gamed, and/or more random selection criteria.

Option 2 is the best to me.  [/quote]

Yes, obviously some parents will cheat no matter what.

Just because people are doing it doesn’t mean that prepping for cognitive tests is ok.

Go ask any gifted coordinator/education psychologist and see what they say about prepping.
