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.
