[quote=Anonymous] I want my child to be supported, but I am not focused on grades. If my child has poor working memory and processing speed, then he'll get low scores on standardized tests. And go into some other field of study that doesn't require that kind of testing. [/quote] I hear that, and definitely agree that a lot of testing is far from an actually productive method of measuring ability, but there are many situations (I'm about to take the praxis tests right now to become a teacher) where the test actually has little to do with the day to day experiences of that career field. Why would you want to preemptively limit your son's ability to enter certain careers before he can figure out if he'd actually be well suited to them? [/quote]
