[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prepped for my older two using paid online programs that helped to refine their ELA reading comprehension and push forward their math skills. It was basically "one easy trick" sort of stuff, like teaching them basic formulas that are about memorization (Pythagorean theorem, for example) but knowing that they would not be able to explain the "why" behind those formulas. For my younger two, though, who are coming up after the "85 percent rule," I don't bother. Their scores are high enough to get them in pool and then it is up to luck. It's actually super freeing not to worry about getting a 97th percentile kid up to 99th. [/quote] I don't get it. You want your kid in the magnet lottery. That makes sense. You think the magnet is valuable. But if they don't get into the lottery, you don't care, and don't want to provide what they are missing from magnet? That doest make sense. [/quote]
