[Superman]

My daughter is fairly sharp and likes math. Unfortunately, sometimes she gets a poor score on a problem she has solved because her solution is not the same as the method the teacher and the text uses. In other words, she gets to the same result often times by a different path.

I dismiss the poor test score and praise her with a broad smile, for her understanding of math, and her understanding of the problem to be solved. Score schmore. The kids knows her math.
