[quote=Anonymous] I recall only two facts about Chelsea Clinton's high school experience from media reports (I lived in DC at the time as a young adult): 1) she attended Sidwell; and 2) she was a NMSF. Look it's a test. It isn't dispositive of a kid's future success in life or in school. But usually people don't do that well on such a test unless they can read quckly and carefully, process information quickly, etc., and kids who do those things well have a definite asset for use in the classroom. As a society, we make all sorts of awards on the basis of a single test or contest -- in sports, debating, music performances, a final exam, etc. We don't need to denigrate strong or weak performances on the PSAT. Celebrate success, but keep perspective.[/quote]
