"I guess when I saw his score sitting right on top of the bell curve, I breathed a sigh of relief. Having ADHD and a pretty strong aversion to tests, this was a success - a huge win that he is progressing and not falling behind."

"Will any of this really matter? Maybe. Do his academic grades reflect his adult earning potential? His skill set? His ability to navigate the difficulties of life?"
