[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, pps. Prepping obviously doesn't mean raising them well and reading to them. Prepping means telling them exactly what's going to be on the test so they can just memorize it instead of having to figure it out like everybody else.[/quote] No, I think that prepping means practicing doing standardized tests, in the belief that practice at doing standardized tests makes you better at doing standardized tests. Now certainly the organizations that make money off test prep want people to believe that a kid will do better at the test after their parents have paid for test prep. But at least for the MCPS magnet tests, nobody knows whether that's actually true, including the organizations that make money off test prep. And IF the organizations that make money off test prep do know exactly what's going to be on the test, and people who don't pay for test prep don't know, that's a big problem.[/quote]
