It’s Not Just the Numbers; It’s The Story Behind The Numbers

I find increasingly that I have a few standard lines that I repeat to myself as little koans of wisdom.  One of these is “Don’t just look at the numbers; look to find the story behind the numbers.”

This graphic, which is making the rounds on social media today, sums this idea up perfectly.

A primary school in England reminds its students that although they receive test scores, those scores don’t tell the whole story, not by a long shot!
