[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Montgomery County does not list the NMSF students, only the School numbers.

Which I think is better. We don't need to know their identities.[/quote]

Then why the hell do they tell us the identities of the sports goons at these schools.  De-identify just like for academics...just the numbers!!

Rampant hypocrisy as usual.[/quote]

There has to be something between 'sports ghouls' and 'high standardized test scorers'. Remember - it's nice to do well, but in the grand scheme of things it's a standardized test given by an organization that gets schools to give out small scholarships but who takes it tons and tons of money.
It's not actually a great use of a kids time to do all of this prep and spend time tons of time studying for a multiple choice standard test where your education is supposed to suffice as preparation.
I can say this from a non bitter perspective here - my DD did no test prep she just works hard in school at a good thorough school and while she didn't get a nms she did get her ACT test score back today with a 99% and a 34 score. That's enough! Studying  with a tutor or intense class for 6 months and spending 10k for her to get a 99.5%? Nah... [/quote]

You may not be bitter but you are definitely insecure.  Your post reeks from that chip on your shoulder.  :wink: [/quote]
