This is such an important reminder for our students!I donât know what parent/guardian needs to hear this, but in 4th grade I took ~The Test~ to see if I could join the accelerated classes (aka âthe smart kid classesâ).
I failed.
One of the questions I missed -> I didnât know the difference between a microscope and a telescope.
I remember crying in that test room because I felt so nervous and embarrassed.
I never did test into the smart kid classes. I had a teacher even suggest I wouldnât be a good fit for Honors Science in high school.
Anyway, I ended up earning a Masters of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT.

Iâm tearing up a bit about this!Last week at the grocery store, a woman came up to me and said, âMy son and I just finished reading Edward Tulane together. I cried at the end.â
I looked down at her son (who was maybe 8 years old) and said, âDid you cry?â
He shook his head. âNo,â he said. âBut I held my momâs hand.â
âHe did,â said the mother. âAnd it helped.â
As I walked away, I kept thinking the same words over and over: he took his motherâs hand. It helped.
I can tell you this: hearing about it helped me.
And I thought it might help you, too. ... See MoreSee Less
