update on March 10 math student

We have worked a few times with this student. Tonight we saw her again at her aunt's house. I ask if she had taken her math test.She smiled and told me she made a normal score. We asked her what score she needed. She needed a 27 to pass and a 43 to be considered advanced. She made a 36 so she was happy. She said she had aimed for a 28. How sad it is to see a student convinced they are so poor in math they only hope a minimum grade.
