Training a monkey to excel on an IQ test does not actually make the monkey any smarter. What's the point other than to show off that you can train a monkey to excel on an IQ test? There's no real benefit for the monkey.


It sure does, Bozo.

Teachers have lost the art of teaching, parents have lost the art of parenting and everyone thinks the art can be bought from a test prep service for $50.00.

Origen of the trained monkey quote:

It may be one poster or it may be a few who cannot seem to grasp the difference between "test prep" and playing educational games with their children.

If ones conscience is so clear, there is no need for all this arguing with people who have a different ethical standard.


No, it is a single poster with not enough grey and white matter to recognize parents can play education games with their children using the "exact form" of the test (subject matter topic and discipline). One does not need to buy the "test" to practice with.

My conscious is quite clear. I make no excuses for the fact I can train a monkey to excel in any K-12 or "IQ" test. This does not require buying books or course. If one is talented enough to train monkeys we need enough talented teachers and parents capable of training their children. The world and mankind will be better off.

Trained monkeys are now getting throw in the mix with those damn first generation test prep immigrants and their culture of test prep hell, along with the tea baggers and Asians? The net is getting wider...

Then it is unusual (hmm, maybe even quirky) to care so much about convincing others that it is okay to prep/scam the CogAT.



Uh.. nope, I don't care about that either. Maybe you are confused with others.
Parents know the best about their kids. Do what you think is the best for your kids.
No need to convince others either way.



Sorry, my mistake. I thought you were the same poster who is so intent on confusing prepping/scamming the CogAT with general preparation in academics and other life skills and trying to convince people that it is okay to prep/scam the CogAT because it is no different than other types of preparation. Haha.

Again, my apologies for my mistake.

Children are not animals to be "trained."
