Flunking the test is not necessarily a reflection on your character. If you tried your best, that's good. Please go back (if you had trouble) and try again. Or, email me with your problem. I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.
If you found it easy, Great! Maybe you should pursue a career in this field.
K-12 teachers: Email me. Maybe I can be a Resource person for your class.:)
