Thanks so much for this reply. Personally, I try to encourage my daughter to just allow her strengths to flourish but also to work on areas that she has to learn (math, reading etc.) and not to get caught up in assessments.

I think that formal school provides just part of a person's education and that other parts are learned at home and in the community. I hope you continue to write more articles like this.
