You are so right when you say "who wouldn't be where they are if someone hadn't believed in them." The possibilities are limitless when a person is willing to look beyond the test grade to see the 'real' person and the potential that person has inside. I have seen students who are stressed as a result of testing. They take everything personally and judge themselves as not smart if they don't do well. I wonder how many students just give up as a result of poor test scores. Why try, I can't do it anyway. Christy, I read your comment to Caren before I read your blog.
