[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]FWIW, I was told by a teacher at Eastern last year, while chatting during a field trip, that many students attend a prep course for the exam and that this has impacted admissions since it improved student test scores. I really have no idea how the teacher knew this, so I have no way of judging accuracy. Since my child is already attending, and I would never send my second child there, I didn't bother to ask what course/where.[/quote]

I am surprised you didn't know many of the students study and prepare for the magnet test.  I'm almost certain your child also prepared for the test.  MCPS does outline the general content and subject matter on the test as a guide.  Some kids simply study the subject matter (English, Math and Writing) at home.  Others take courses in English, Math, and Writing.  Some even take SSAT or SAT prep courses as they are preparing for several types of upcoming entrance exams.  How did your child prepare?  I bet all he did was play and create outside, get a good night's sleep and eat a hearty breakfast the morning of.  And that was it!

You are very rude.  Is there one person making snide comments about children prepping for the magnet tests and parents who "pretend" their children don't prep so that they can "brag" about this on an anonymous forum?  If so, please cut it out.  Your comments are obnoxious and out of line.   The only person you are damning with your comments is the person you see in the mirror.[/quote]
