Its unlikely to be valid in terms of what its trying to do. I do believe there is ability. Parents who come into kindergarten, when you have a child they always say children will develop at their own weight and age. Whats important is that theyre thriving and happy and then all the sudden that rhetoric comes to a halt and if you dont learn to read by third grade youre doomed forever and wont ever go to college. I hope you buy the book and give it to all the parents you work with. I was reading about this thing called a racial button law where the children are in control of their own content because their children and they put content online and the idea is they own their content and could get rid of it. Its being proposed in other states as well but it is here.

They dont take into account good days or bad days or that we know the kids
Garfield high school in seattle takes a critical look at standardized testing. This is about an hour, 20 minutes. [applause] thank you.

You can make students do that and that can be part of the outcomes youre trying to assess and create, for sure. Was there anything that while you were in the process of writing this book, changes you as a parent the way you dealt with your daughter . I was inclined in this direction anyway but i was led to downplay her intellectual growth for her social emotional growth.
