What summer enrichment classes are there that will help a kid do better on the CoGAT?

There are many of them. Check the academic-focused camps posted in the Camps forum.

This is so sad to me. If you are taking one of these camps your child doesn't belong in aap. How selfish of you to waste their fun summer days with study. Why can't you people be happy and proud of the children you have

How selfish of you to allow your kid fall behind their peers academically.

I don't get this. If you think that your child needs a summer course to keep up with their peers academically, then that child does not belong in AAP. I think that point is valid. My DC don't take any summer courses and are the top students in their class every year.

If your child is behind academically (or that's a parents' perception) to peers what is wrong with tutoring and placing them in enrichment activities?  Isn't this what a parent does?  Does it really matter what the enrichment activity is (AAP prep, SAT prep, AP prep, reading or math club, great books reading, WPSSI prep)?

If your child is sick (and others are not) is it ok to treat?

If your child is not adept at athletics is it wrong for parents to work on these skills with their child in order to improve performance?
