[quote=Anonymous][quote]And here is where you are wrong. Peyton's prep is preparing to play football, which is a critical life skill for him. CogAT prep is preparing to take the CogAT, which is something that will never be needed again. THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM PREPPING FOR A MATH TEST! You Need the knowlege from one level to understand the next level. [/quote]

On the contrary.  The concept of prep for Peyton starts with practice at age 7.  Prepping for practice leads to prepping for games which leads to prepping for the Super Bowl.  Prepping for class and homework at 7 leads to prepping for tests, college, grad school and then the work place.  For Peyton, the work place is now NFL games, for the brain surgeon it is the neuroblastoma on the schedule for tomorrow, and for the lawyer preparing to argue a case before the Supreme Court.

These habits are not turned on like a switch when one starts life's work.  It is ingrained into behavioral DNA early in life for many like Peyton, Phelps and Supreme Chief Justice Roberts.[/quote]
