People are not numbers. They're not. The number on my check stub doesn't tell the story of my life or yours. Yet we are conditioned to judge success by that number.
A child that lives in a shattered home and doesn't even have her own room to hide in is not her test score. She's not. Tell that to her teachers or the President himself. See how far it gets you. It still doesn't change the fact that she's a walking, talking human being. Not a number.
Statistics are not the problem. Making statistics the equivilent of absolute gospel is the problem.
