test scores don't tell everything

[liberal_at_heart]

As usual the US can learn a lesson from a different country. A parent in the UK shares a letter she received about her son's standardized test results. In it the faculty of the school explain that standardized test scores tell us something but do not tell everything. They do not tell what makes each student special and unique.

2. Test scores tell how good you are at taking tests

I'm very good at taking tests and I figured it out years ago, good test taking skills don't translate to much in the working world.
