[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if I'm too relaxed as a parent by the standards of this board, or if I'm doing it right. My DD is in 1st grade and just got her scores back, and got a 120. I was barely aware she was being given this test, much less prepping her for it. I suppose it is because I went through Gen Ed in Fairfax County many years ago and, with hindsight and having a great career now, realize that AAP and getting into TJ are not requirements for success. I don't mean this to come off as holier than thou, but the idea of test prepping a 1st grader is surprising to me. DD is smart, but she wouldn't do her homework (such as it is in 1st grade) without being forced, and getting her to remember things like bringing home her lunchbox is a coin flip. They are kids, let them be kids. Gen Ed in Fairfax is not a sentence to an unfulfilling life, it is still better than 95% or more of the education being offered around the country. Your kids will be fine regardless.[/quote]
