One can say over and over again that "preparation is the key to life" blah, blah, blah, but it doesn't change the fact that the type of test prep many people in Fairfax County were using was not approved by FCPS and was not appropriate for use by parents and students before taking the tests used here. The type of "test prep" discussed here is very, very different from the many other types of study and preparation referred to in some of the posts on this thread.

FCPS has specifically said that they changed the test because of the inappropriate "prep" materials used by some parents. People react in different ways when a wrong has been pointed out to them. In this particular case, some posters have reacted by disparaging those who have pointed out the wrong: calling them racists, lazy, entitled, anything they can think of to distract attention from the fact that certain types of "test prep" are not considered appropriate by the school district.

[quote]Hard work and study and "test prep" are referring to two different processes. FCPS changed the test because people were using inappropriate materials to "prep" their children.

It has been stated repeatedly here that no one has a problem with general education, hard work, study and preparation.

People only have a problem with parents who use materials with their children that so closely mimic the actual second grade test used here that children come home saying that the test was the "same" as the ones they studied together in advance.
