[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No one has a problem with people educating their children with their own brain. I educated my children with my own brain from the moment they were born, [quote]but I never needed to drill them on questions that were just like the ones they'd see on a second grade test.[/quote] One is at TJ now without ever needing "test prep."

These tests are constructed so that smart kids will do well on them without the need for "test prep." [/quote]

You and your children clearly have better brains.  I needed to drill my kids with my brain in elementary school for these tests including geo bee and spelling bee.  I know you are against repetition and drilling.  Since my kids always took home the prize all the repetition and drilling over elementary school tests was cheating.  They know precisely what Phelps and Woods learned at a young age about focus and preparation for the long haul.

I will turn myself in to the FCPS authorities for using test prep material and place my brain in formaldehyde.

If smart kids do well (like yours) without "test prep" why all the fuss over dumb kids who "test prep"?  [/quote]

No problem with repetition and drill, just a problem with using materials that are not considered appropriate by the school district.

And the fuss is just because I and many others value honesty and feel that it is an important trait to model for our children.
