[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But that's not what this thread is about. It's about prepping second graders for an AAP screening test, which is designed to be [b]a measure of natural problem solving ability, not competency in math or other subjects. [/quote][/b]

I am a neuroscientist. Please tell me what you mean by the statement in bold?  How do you measure the parameters or variables you parrot?  [/quote]

You are truly scary.  Not a test-designer myself, but I'm sure if you read the research coming out of the University of Iowa, you'll understand.

And since you're a neuroscientist perhaps you can explain the biological/psychological underpinnings for why you're being so obtuse.  This is pretty basic stuff that most parents don't need an advanced degree to understand.  It's also spelled out on the FCPS website which recommends no more prep than a good nights sleep and a healthy breakfast for these tests of 7 and 8 year olds?   Are you afraid your kids can't get in without help?    [/quote]
