[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is off the wall. It's an excuse for parents to brag about how their no prep kid got in to CES[/quote]
Funny how the "no prep" kids are taken to museums, farms, concerts, fairs, read to, etc., but they don't consider that "prepping".  It's all parental involvement, and enriches children.  Just not the type they care to sanction. [/quote]

Parental involvement and prepping are not synonyms. There is parental involvement that is not prepping. There is prepping that is not parental involvement, except insofar as the parents write the checks and get the kids there.[/quote]

Stop turning your nose down at people who are not like you and judging. You are educated, wealthy or middle class and have a flexible job or are a SOHM so you can take the time to take your child to museums and all these enriching experiences like traveling. Other parents may be first-generation immigrants or work hourly jobs or be running a small business that doesn't allow them to have the time to do that. They may not speak English well so they don't understand where to find these enriching activities. Providing your child with enriching experiences as the same type of thing as sending your child to one of those Chinese-run "prep" classes. These are all examples of parental "involvement" and all are good. The people sending their kid to a class are not lazy or less involved than you.
