For years I used to say, you know—and I don't think children are objects, but it's more about the process I'm getting ready to describe—sometimes kids would have five wheels, three windshield wipers, no seats, and maybe seven review mirrors, because in class we didn't ever assess what children needed, we just gave it to them because that's what we thought they needed. So I think forms of assessment help us, help the process become more accurate.
