[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm disgusted with the AAP prepping. There was a record number of AAP acceptances this year because of the prepping. And the schools have to figure out how to accommodate all of these kids. The parents who do this are the same ridiculous type A people that red shirt their kids for kindergarten - just so that they can be smarter and better athletes than their peers. And the kids feel so much pressure to achieve and excel, that they too become cheaters - just like their parents. [/quote] Much nonsense. The schools can simply raise the bar. It's done is sports all the time. The 4 minute mile becomes the new 3 monute 50 second mile. Records continually fall over the centuries over years of physical prepping; the same holds true for mental or intellectual "prepping". Just raise the bar or cut off just like in swimming. A simple solution better than telling kids to stop training because we are all getting too "fast" or too "smart"! No one here feels pressure? Speak for your kids and yourselves...not others. How can you get into our minds or that of our children's? Know your own mind first.[/quote]
