They are comparable because weight loss through diet/exercise is something that you actually have to work for.  Test prep is literally available to all students - FREE - through Kahn Academy.  Some students take advantage of it, some don't.

Cheating is not the same thing as test prep.[/quote]

If Kahn Academy test prep is equivalent, why are people paying so much for private test prep and tutors?[/quote]

Because the structure of having organized classes or tutoring is more effective for most kids. The whole "test prep is cheating" spiel is pure bs.  We used a tutor for test prep and they met, 1ce a week or every two weeks. Tutor gave them tests from books and sections of math and english to review. This review has helped them in their current classes.  The quality of teachers we have dealt with is very hit or miss. Many of the science and math teachers have been abysmal. We've used tutors off and on their entire academic careers because of this. We aren't rich and our tutors cost much less than pps have quoted. Our kids also have disabilities so we are more concerned about them missing instruction in school. When our children were very young, we noticed most of the parents had a tutor their kids used regularly or occassionally. It is part of the culture that we are around that kids do some kid of organized tutoring or class outside of school. How people can argue that this is cheating is dumb.

You lost everyone when you said you use tutors weekly and (shocking) your kid has accommodations too. [/quote]
