The Best Standardized Test

When I was growing up, I never realized how lucky I was to do well on standardized tests. It was something that I just took for granted. I had never had any trouble with assessment testing. My standardized math test scores were always excellent, and my reading exam scores were not far behind. I was a national merit semifinalist on the PSAT, and got into college of my choice despite having mediocre grades. So when I had a daughter with standardized testing problems, I didn’t know what to do about it. I had always thought that a standardized test was a simple matter. I figured that it measured your real knowledge. After all, I knew math well, and always got high scores on my math exams. Why should it be any different for her?
The reality, however, is that it can be much different for people with testing problems. Standardized tests are a source of great anxiety and frustration for millions of Americans. The strange thing about it was that my daughter was actually a fine student. She always did well in her homework and, when given sufficient time, would get great test scores. There was something about the format of a standardized test, however, that always tripped her up.
We had her take a Princeton Review course. Although I had heard mixed things about those classes, I knew that they work for some people and was willing to try anything. It brought her marks up a few points, but her standardized tests still showed scores well below her ability. Finally, we took a common sense approach: we had her practice standardized tests at home.
She would have to practice a standardized test every single day. This was incredibly frustrating for her at first, but after a while she got used to the routine. Soon, it was actually something she did not even think about anymore. It had become so much a part of her everyday routine that she didn’t stress over it.
Because of this, when she went to take her SATs, she got a good score. It was something that she could sit down and do without thinking about it, you see. She had conquered the standardized test through hard work and diligence study. Now she is in a good college, getting good grades, and making her parents happy. I couldn’t be more proud of all she has accomplished!
Educating about Peter and The Wolf

The first time I ever heard Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, I was a little kid. I was, of course, watching the Disney cartoon about it. It was one of those brilliant old cartoons they don’t make anymore. All the animation was done by hand and the characters were beautiful and well-developed.
The voice over narration was humorous and rich, and the entire effect was exhilarating. I could really feel myself falling for the characters. They all seemed so well drawn by the music. I had never heard anything like it.
When my parents made me listen to the Peter and the Wolf record they have, at first I was a little bit disappointed. I had expected not to like it as much because there wasn’t a cartoon there. It took me a few minutes to get into it, but to my surprise it was even richer in some ways. Without the aid of the visuals, you could really delve into the sound of everything more. I really came to understand Prokofiev’s brilliance very quickly. The wolf still sounded sinister, the grandfather still sounded old and crotchety, the bird still sounded flighty. The music alone was enough to draw out the characters in vivid details.
When I watched the Peter and the Wolf cartoon again, I was able to see it with even more vivid clarity. It was somehow more brilliant now that I had heard the music by itself. Rather than simply having music to accompany the cartoon, I now had a cartoon that paralleled the brilliant work of music. At the time, I wasn’t sure what was better ” the animation or the music. As I have grown older, of course, my tastes have turned more towards the music than the animation, but I can still appreciate the way that cartoon looks with the same childish sense of wonder.
Recently, I got to play Peter & the Wolf for my own kids. It was great to watch their reactions. They were raised on Pixar movies ” the new style animation with the bubbly, computer generated characters. Although this animation has its own advantages, it misses out on some of the depth of character typical of the old style of animating. I was glad to see them wowed by the same cartoon that had wowed me as a child. It is always nice to be able to relive the childish wonder that you had in the eyes of your own children.
