DP.. so in your world it's ok to "cheat" for an organization that is private but not for one that is public?  If an organization is publicly financed then you shouldn't study harder to give you an edge?   I have never heard that studying extra at home is considered "cheating".    All those kids who decide to read a bit extra at home must be cheating.  Who knew.  Prepping is nothing more than extra studying. If a student decides to put in that extra effort, that's not cheating. That's just someone who is willing to work harder.

In what world is trying harder considered "cheating"?

I'm Asian. My DC who went to magnet never prepped or was tutored.[/quote]

I have never heard anybody referring to extra studying at home as "prepping", let alone as "cheating".[/quote]
Well apparently, the a PP does because an extra "studying" after school (or yes, tutoring and using prep materials, which is extra studying) is considered cheating. If you read an extra book on a subject not assigned by the teacher, that is cheating, according to the PP.  If you watch a program on that topic or visit a museum that covers that topic, that must be cheating. If you do puzzles that help you think better, that must be cheating, too.

Any kind of "extra" activity outside of school or HW that makes you use your brain that helps you do better in tests is apparently considered cheating.

Everybody should just only ever learn at school, and never outside of it so that we are all equally dumbed down.[/quote]
