No, his answer won't count on the test. That's the problem with standardized testing. You have to fit in the box.

I feel your sensitivity in education. I hope that your student's answer counts in his score on the test.

aah, the pitfalls of teaching!

You sound like a wonderful teacher!  I gave up teaching after twenty years of public school special ed, but the boy you write about sounds like my daughter. And what a difference a few well timed words can do to make a child feel good about him or herself!

 

Good for you!
