We Don't Need Scores for That | Khadija Amiree | TEDxKids@ElCajon

In this heartfelt and insightful talk, 5th grader Khadija Amiree shares her perspective on the pressure of test scores and why they don’t define a student’s worth or success. Drawing from her own experiences with anxiety and burnout, Khadija challenges us to rethink how we measure success, beyond grades and standardized tests. She highlights the importance of creativity, perseverance, happiness, and real-world learning opportunities like BizTown.Join Khadija in celebrating all the different kinds of intelligence and talents that make each student unique.
