unfair because they are being dinged for having too many "cohorts" where they live.   These are kids from educated parents. Do you really think most of these kids wouldn't score high without the prep?  BTW, we live in RM cluster, the west side of the county, and my DC went to HGC without any prep whatsoever.  Same for many of the kids from this area who went to HGC.[/quote]

The “prep” is educated parents. The “prep” is quality childcare and nutrition. The “prep” is a relatively calm and stress free childhood. The “prep” is school time with classmates who are within ten reading levels of your child and who don’t act out because they are anxious about instability at home.

That is the prep.[/quote]
? omg seriously.  That is not what most people consider "prep". That would be just be a normal childhood that most people would like for their kids.  Yes, many low income parents can't afford trips to museums, etc..but that's not prep.

And guess what.. I grew up lower income, parents had only ES/MS education, spoke no English. And I managed to get good grades and go to college.  Home life wasn't "stress free" either.
