[quote=Anonymous]Again, people are confusing working hard and test prep. When people are looking for test prep materials, they do not want to be told to just read to your child and expose your child to lots of varied enriching activities. When someone asks where to go for test prep, they are typically looking for books or programs that provide sample tests for the child to complete. They want the child to be taught [i]specific techniques to do well on a specific test[/i]. That is the kind of test prep that people object to, because those tests (CogAT and NNAT) were designed for children to take without having seen that type of material before. It is not the same thing as providing a child with rich educational experiences throughout their growing years and encouraging your child to work hard in school. [/quote]
