[quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to take the bait and make this a big argument about who is qualified and who isn't. Some children given the instruction to "leave it blank if you don't know the answer" will look at the problem, say to themselves "we haven't done this in class before" and tell themselves that they don't know how to do it, so they move on. A better way to approach it would have been to make your best guess (or estimate) and pick an answer. Kids' often don't think they know something when they actually know quite a bit. As you may have noticed, I'm not trying to make a big deal of this with the teacher or administration or even on this forum. I think it is a shame that some classes of kids are being tested on their confidence level in addition to reasoning ability. But, we'll be fine. It's not the end of my world or my child's future. It's just one section of one test. [/quote]
