How Should Parents Respond When Grades Are Good, But Test Scores Are Bad?
Researchers at the University of Chicago examined how parents respond when classroom grades and standardized test scores send conflicting signals about their child’s performance.

Those private decisions aggregate to meaningful effects on children’s skill development and long-term economic outcomes.
