[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question for those who believe that prepping is OK--especially those who believe it's actually the *right* thing to do: Have you shared the fact that you prepped your child with your child's teacher and/or school administration? Your AAP teacher, if your child did get into the center? If you haven't, why not?[/quote] To answer your question. They have not asked, should they do so, I would gladly admit to prep. My child is only in first grade, but I prepped for the NNAT2 - don't have results yet so have no idea what good it may or may not have done. It's not as if you can make them smarter, but you are teaching them basic test taking skills at minimum (eliminate the wrong answers, focus and listen to the directions for each section, make your best guess, etc.) and what to look out for (how they try to trick you if you are not paying attention). What they do with that is up to them. Have you looked at the tests? I think it is unfair to have a kid take those cold turkey. You are just familiarizing them with the format and making them comfortable, all kids should get that. It's not as if you have to "study" for weeks on end forgoing playtime. I have not looked at the CogAT, so maybe that one is different...but I will prep for that next year. Well, if the school won't help them prepare, I will.[/quote] Would love for you to post your child's nnat score when you get it to see if it may have helped. Don't mean this snarky...just wondering...[/quote]
