This week the reports came out showing improvement in the academic test scores across the State of Maryland. While that is good, and the closing of the gap of test scores across the board of students is a good accomplishment, we should remember that education is not just about test scores. Nor is it about one’s physical prowess as a sports star, or how many toys you will be able to collect after getting this education.
It is about children growing up to be happy, productive and useful members of society. Growing into adulthood with a love for life, with compassion and empathy for others. Our goal here at Balanced Life Skills is to support every child’s most important teacher, their parents, reinforcing all of the lessons they hope for their child to learn.
