[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG people.  Prepping a 5 year old for the NNAT?  In the hopes that the child will get a high enough score in 1st grade to keep him in the running for AAP selection, although NNAT is just one of several scores they consider?

Stop doing this to your children.  It is insane.  I can't think of a better way to turn your child off of school forever.  Suck all the love out of learning.  As if No Child Left Behind and all these standardized tests aren't bad enough, now parents are forcing their kids to do these at home?

You don't even know yet if your child is a good fit for AAP.  You don't know what AAP will look like in a few years.  Instead of trying to shove your child onto a set path, why not wait and see what your child wants to do and excels at on his own, and foster and encourage that?  Maybe music!  Maybe art!  Maybe sports!  Maybe theater! [/quote]

Agree 100%.  But it's like talking to a wall where some of these parents are concerned, unfortunately.[/quote]
