When I was growing up I never got the sense that anyone thought test preparation was anything less than commendable. At least that was how I remembered it. I sense a change in attitude about test prep, some people seem to argue that it’s a form of cheating. Parents who pay for extra test prep help are criticized for having subverted the purpose of the test. I’m inclined to think that this insane, I find it hard to find fault with anyone who wants to do as well as she can. What’s wrong with that? Yet, I’ve looked with a raised eyebrow at people who were singularly obsessed with doing well on a particular test. Was I jealous of them? They were out-competing against me.
In the end, I can’t find fault with test prep. People who do are probably hate’N.
First, do you sense this change in attitude? If so, how do you feel about it.
