Interesting article. Really sad that the parents interviewed were not appalled by the test prep but dishearten that they can't afford it for their kids or didn't know the prep services were offered. And I have to add if their children weren't prepped and took the test and didn't meet the cutoff stats then perhaps theirs is an example of the system working and perhaps their children were not proper candidates for the program. The issue I have is all the prep time devoted to students who probably would not have made the cutoff. BUT I do agree with the argument that entrance to these schools should not be based solely on a test score.
