[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if FCPS were to care about prepping, any policies would be unenforceable.  Even in the past when they had an outright cheating scandal, wherein a test prep center got ahold of the actual test and kids memorized the answers to the actual test, [b]nothing happened to the kids who cheated.  [/b]

The only sensible option is to go with resources for everyone. [/quote]

Well, I wouldn't expect there to be consequences for 2nd graders who are just doing what adults told them. I doubt they even know it was cheating and not just studying.  I do wonder how these centers/parents coach their kids--are they told not to mention their studying to their teachers?

Prepping, using the workbook, this summer. So far DS has completed the few pages of instruction and two sections of a practice test. Prepping in this way cost us the workbook, DH bought it so I have no idea, and maybe an hour of time. DS understood the practice pages with little help and we have not been demanding that he complete the practice test. We have not told him, nor will we tell him, to hide that he worked on the workbook this summer.

We also had a summer writing workbook for him. It is the only thing he complains about doing at school and his handwriting is pretty bad. We wanted him to practice a bit so that his hand writing isn’t horrible at the start of the school year. He reads on his own, enjoys being read to, and asks to play math games so there was no real need to try and engage him in those areas. If he wanted to play an hour of video games, he needed to complete two pages in his workbook. His choice, most days he did the pages because he wanted to play on the switch. 2 days out of the week he skipped them and didn’t play video games.
