[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of the previous posters on this thread are NOT privileged?  Let me guess:  none. [/quote]

Please define "privileged?"   [/quote]
 in the era of the internet all students who wants to prep for any test have access and available resources. Thank goodness for FREE internet resources for all of this. [/quote]

Yea, right, and that’s why the privileged kids still pay for test prep.  We all know free prep isn’t the same thing.  Beyond that, you’re also assuming that the underprivileged kids even KNOW about the need to/benefits of, test prep.  I will tell you this, when I was growing up in a first generation household, no one told me - and I had no way of knowing - that test prep was a good idea.  So it never occurred to me.

You’re living in a bubble. [/quote]

This. My SIL lives in NYC and her kids go to Trinity - you couldn't even imagine the leg up these kids are getting. Private tutoring, private 1:1 admissions counseling, a college counselor at the school who CALLS SCHOOLS to vouch for individual kids because they have a relationship, placements at internships, etc., etc., on and on. It is NOT the same as free Kahn Academy.[/quote]

Ummm... I am privileged and your SIL and her kids are getting WAY more than my kid would ever get and they go to a Big3!  LOL.  Your example is way beyond the Kahn Academy, Test prep books vs paid test prep argument.
