I can assure you there are parents doing a whole lot more than feeding a healthy breakfast in preparation for this testing![/quote]

This is indeed the case. A number of parents from a certain part of the world (no, not India/Pakistan) had their kids take "GT classes" during summer vacation. These classes taught NNAT and CogAT test strategies and gave a number of mock tests to the kids.[/quote]

A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too.

Read the whole story "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior": http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704111504576059713528698754.html

A lot of people think that Parents pushing their kids into GT ( BTW, its been renamed as Advanced Academic Programs) is unfair.
My son is getting bored at school.  He can stay on a 500 piece puzzle longer than in his math class at school.  Gone are the days,
when a kid's potential is based on the standard curriculum  What is wrong about parents seeking ore knoledge for their kids.

Let me put this way.  "Hey we are going to teach new and more advanced stuff and keep his mind occupied a lot longer.  You dont have to spend any extra money.   As a parent do you think you would want your kid to have that?   If yes, we cannot afford to give everybody but one day hopefully the overall education will hit a high threshhold and we will give it to everyone.  But at this point, we have a scheme.  If you could satisfy the conditions we will give you for FREE".

I am sure all of us want that for our kid.  Knowledge has no limits.  I am unable to give it all the time.  If someone can, please.

I wish all parents "GOOD LUCK".  Dont let anybody tell you what you or your kid is capable of.
