[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My Asian friends parents sent them to Cram schools in summer. They actually request the books for next school year then spend 40 hours a week all summer studying. They had pros helping with Essay, SAT tutors. Many their focus was just homework. And they worked as a group helping each other. [/quote] This still happens, including "Saturday school." [/quote]

That’s called hard work. Not “legalized cheating.”[/quote]

No that is not "hard work". Only "certain people" think of it that way. Colleges want to find unicorns with the SAT not somebody that studied and studied and studied for it. [/quote]

However colleges may see it, it is still hard work and dedication.[/quote]

I don't see it as hard work. I see working as a janitor in the morning before school starts, or working all night at a restaurant, or doing construction, caring for you 3 siblings and your sick mother ... hard work.

Reading a book and filling in little, tiny bubbles is not hard work. It does indicate somebody that is unable to speak for themselves, does not follow their passion and are afraid of their parents. [/quote]

Where did you get 'afraid of their parents' part from?????[/quote]

Who is making them sit for hours and hours filling little bubbles and learning how to take tests? Is it a child that just loves to learn how to take tests? Is that a new passion I'm unaware of? Are there test taking clubs in retirement homes now to bond and relax?[/quote]

My Asian kids are far from it.  they are more on the creative side however, 
most of those kids are ambitious, dedicated, endure, and want to be a brain doctor, NASA engineer, etc.

Kind of like football players in HS.  They do all kinds of extra training after school even in Weekends.   Football is really not a fun sport to play but you get satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

If you are a parent, you should know, there's so much you can do to your kids.  [/quote]

What does any of this have to do with test prep?[/quote]

what about test prep?[/quote]
