The tests were done and over with in October. FWIW, DS started working with the teacher a few months ago. It's totally naive to think that if I wanted to prep DS for the test I would do so by having him do mazes and puzzles. I can find much more organized prep mills around the area to prep him with the best of them...

I thought I was asking a reasonable question among reasonably well-intended people. I guess that having a regular tutor or going to Kumon is OK (and even advisable, if we are to believe the whole separate thread on the topic that is currently developing) if we are to prep for schoolwork. But to do something not directly related to tests or schoolwork just to provide an extra fun challenge to kids who may enjoy it, sounds like a pitiful thing to do, according to the above comment. Oh well, Kumon it will have to be then for next year  :roll: [/quote]

I think the questions here kind answered your question. The same reactions might come from the appeal committee. Nobody can tell you what to do with your DC, but general rule of thumb, any kind of tutoring on the same grade level, including Kumon, are not good supporting material for AAP. If DC is in above grade level learning from some institition, that's another story.[/quote]
