[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Having parents that buy a prep test does not reflect a component of a child's intelligence., nor does it show a child's ability to anticipate what to expect on an upcoming real exam. It shows that the child's parent has bought them a prep test. Your argument is silly. Whether it's cheating or not is not going to be solved on this thread, which I'm sure will continue until AAP letters come out and the obsession switches to that.[/quote]

What's the difference between my teaching them the subject matter or  buying it?  Some kids are lucky for they have parents and school systems that teach them deeply what they need to know for CoGAT.  What if I give them my teaching points if their teachers and parents are useless?  And watch their IQ and intelligence grow.

You can buy the test prep, buy tuition for a great private school or a year round tutor or mortgage in an excellent school district, get test prep for free from caring and nurturing parents over a lifetime warranty.  No frigging difference, madame.

You simply do not want others to benefit from what you provide for your kids.  Trying to label children studying for tests as cheaters -- pure blasphemy[/quote]

There is not difference.  The difference is someone selling you the test in advance, or something close to that.   I have bought my kids books.  I teach a lot of science and math at home.  I have helped her study for tests.  In one case, I identified incorrect answers.  You, the good prepper, would tell the child to answer what the teacher wanted.  Me, the good parent, told the child to answer correctly.  DD did, and was marked wrong.  Much to the chagrin of the teacher, I dealt with it.  The grade was not changed (I do not care if my child gets a 3 or 4 in the 5th grade.  In the US it does not matter).  But, I taught the teacher the science, which was more important.  What I did is taught by child.

Having a second grader sit down and do 50 practice questions over and over again is abuse.  Maybe it is ok in Korea, but I do not see creativity coming out of the Korean educational system.  Rather I see copying others innovations, and possibly improving.  Western society comes up with the ideas.[/quote]
