Maison came home the other day with a letter from the school saying that she was selected to represent schools across our state and nation by participating in the National Assessment of Educational Progress. It is given by the U.S. Department of Education and tells us what American students know and can do in key subject areas. It is the only ongoing nationally representative assessment that provides this valuable information. She wasn't as pleased as I was because it meant that she had to take a 90 minute test on all of these subjects. I proceeded to tell her that it was an honor to be selected because you are smart. Being smart can get you far in life, especially when it comes to college and scholarships!!!!! Sometimes I think our kids don't want to act smart because other kids may think they are NERDS!!! Way to go Maison!!
