Haha, I see that analogy all the time.  :) Not the same thing at all as showing kids test questions ahead of time, but it is interesting that there are some who think it is.

SHOWING KIDS TEST QUESTIONS ahead of time? = impossible 
It would be called cheating. The analogy to that would be a fielder knowing exactly where the ball was going to arrive.

There is no way to show kids actual test questions. 
The testing company does not even release old test problems....

No wonder you are cynical if you were confused about that![/quote]

How about if the coach explicitly said "no practicing" before the tryouts? Would practicing in the backyard be considered acceptable? Some people choose to do what is right and play by the rules, and some others don't, that's life. Those of you who don't though, please don't try to make it sound like you're doing the right thing, because you know that you are not. And that's why there are so many defensive parents here. Because everyone knows that this is not baseball practice - it's taking a test that you are told that you shouldn't be prepping your kids for. Simple as that. If you choose to ignore this directive, fine, I won't judge, but don't try to make it sound like it's OK, because the bottom line is that you are indeed scamming the system. And the result is that the system is trying to change so that you won't be scamming it as much any more (FxAT anyone?)... I don't see baseball tryouts changing so that there is no backyard practicing...[/quote]
