See, and I tend to see prepping a kid for an IQ test as cheating or an effort to get scores that don't really tell you what the child's needs are b/c they aren't a true reflection of his innate ability. It sounds like it was someone else's kid, not your child, though.
I suppose I'm still against prepping kids for IQ tests
in general... but after watching the videos last fall about the families in NYC trying to get their kids into K, I'm much more understanding of their situation. If we were in NYC and knew we were competing against people busily prepping their kids, I would prep mine, too, in order to level the playing field.
