She fails her own test and gets sent to the same isolated school in Kansas. And then Freddie fails the monthly test and is sent from her ‘green’ tiered middle school to a ‘yellow’ state school – the lowest of the low.Ĭompletely cut-off from seeing or speaking to her daughter, Elena does the only thing that makes sense. Having slightly smudged Freddie’s prenatal Q score, Elena is always watchful over her younger, slightly less able daughter. But Elena has always had concerns over Freddie who is struggling with the pressure and suffers regular panic attacks come test day. Her husband, Malcolm, is the Deputy Education Secretary and her two daughters – teenage Anne and 9-year-old Freddie – are successful. But that’s not something teacher Dr Elena Fairchild needs to worry about. The ‘Q’ is everything and can make or break a family in many ways. Students and staff in the ‘new and improved’ school system are subjected to monthly high ranking tests to determine their individual ‘Q Score’. A new system has been implemented in the US which grades adults and children according to their intelligence, family standing, their income (or the income of their parents) and their attendance rate, among other things.
