If she thinks she is TERRIBLE at drawing conclusions... then ... I don't know, maybe make a game out of practicing doing it? (I'd almost be tempted to say: hey, kiddo -- what have you just done? DRAWN A CONCLUSION. So if you're terrible at drawing conclusions, it's probably wrong, right?) <br /> I'd also be teaching her now that institutions that deal with gruops of people sometimes try to do what's best for most. ... at the expense of smaller numbers of people it isn't good for... and that's when they're doing things as best they can. SOmetimes people are just trying to do what is best for *themselves* ... at least what they think is... and so it's up to the folks at the receiving ends of their posters and goalsetting and what have you to see past that and just keep doing the best they can.

She talked to me about his skills and how he might do in the Spring or next year when he has to take Common Core tests. I asked her what her opinions were about Common Core and all this testing. She sighed and told me she isn't a fan. The tests sometimes use words the kids haven't even learned yet, not to mention material the kids haven't learned. Which of course is tacked onto her performance eval.<br />I mentioned I might have him opt-out, because WTF! Her opinion was to tell me, "Let his take the test. Let his score be whatever it will be. Once they test the tests they will realize what a huge failure it was and without the kids scores, they can't make that determination."<br />I am SO SORRY EJ and you have to go through this. You are doing such a good job and are working so hard to manage her anxiety. Seeing the forest for the trees right?

I do my best to keep my kids’ test scores away from them in the (probably vain) hope that their ignorance will, indeed, be blissful, but really - why should I feel that need?
