When did being an average student become a bad thing"
As I waited for my daughter?s teacher to hand over the red folder containing her most recent test scores, I began to experience that all-too-familiar nervous feeling in my stomach. I shouldn’t have been worried?my daughter was doing great in school. Happy, social, making progress and growth. So why was I anxious about what was hiding inside that folder"
The truth is, a few years prior to this conference, I was the parent who hyper-focused on my child?s success in school. I would have panicked if either of my kids scored in the average category on tests, and likely gone into overdrive to make sure my son or daughter had more time for reading, more opportunities to work on math, and less time to just be a kid. I took the folder, set it on the floor and asked her teacher, ?How do you think she?s doing"? Surprised that I hadn?t even looked at the test scores or report card, she turned to me and said, ?She?s exactly where she needs to be.?
