Tests give us a moment in time and not even a true picture. There is so much more to our students -- and daughters -- than a test can tell us. Loved this slice! And bravo that she is going into education!! She has an awesome role model!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-60838872294384144672015-03-19T09:14:13.845-04:002015-03-19T09:14:13.845-04:00Beautiful!

He'll be the one that doesn't test as well, but will have other awesome qualities about him that won't be measured by a test. Thanks for sharing. We have to keep the conversation going.

One of my children did tests well, the other did not. Both are wonderful adults living full and beautiful lives. I don't do the testing at my school, but I hear plenty about them from my 8th grade grandson, all the time prep wasted when there is so much he could be learning. You've written a great story of how it really works, this thing called life.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
