She did stellar during the first section but then completely fizzled out after that! I asked her why later on and she said that she just didn't want to tell him anything anymore!
Yeah, I think that's one of the reasons tests aren't great for kids this age. I can't imagine my DD showing anything like her true abilities in a conversation with a stranger. Heck, she probably wouldn't even do well if I were the one giving the test (which obviously would be unethical anyway).
Earlier today I asked her a test question I'd read on another site. I said, "Hey, why do cars have seatbelts?" And she said, "I don't know. You tell me." I said, "No, you tell me." She said, "No, let's ask the librarian. Or, let's ask Daddy." I said, "No, I just want to know what you think." She refused to answer. Then, when we were getting in the car a few hours later, she told me to buckle my seatbelt. I said, "Why?" She said, "You need to wear your seatbelt because you won't be safe without it." LOL. I mean, I knew she knew that...but still, so funny to hear her say it after the earlier conversation
on the same day.
