...to acknowledge that the students taking those tests are individuals. How can you expect a student to do well on a standardized test when that student feels like they're "no good" at that subject, and no one has shown them otherwise? And the number of hard-working parents who know what their children are capable of find themselves having the same converstion over and over again. "If you just applied yourself..." Students who apply themselves are...
