The truth is really hard to hide over time. My son doesn't really need a number at this point. His achievement portfolio goes with him.

LOL, Dottie. To hear this from you, our resident number expert, is quite enough to make me do a double take. smile

To me, the numbers are irrelevant for the same reason. Achievement trumps IQ anytime. I won't be telling my son because I don't want to take the focus away from attitude and effort.
