Earlier this year, DD8 was revisited by an old problem, when a new librarian began at her school, and DD was prevented from accessing certain books at the school library. She expressed her frustration, but asked us to hold off on any official complaints to the school, as she was currently finding suitable literature in her GT teacher's small classroom bookshelf.

Last night, we got an update: "You don't have to worry about talking to the school about library books. I took the STAR test today, and my score was four-point(something) to eleven-point(something)."

I assume this is a grade-equivalent score. We haven't actually seen anything. We only have DD's oral report.

The upshot being, of course, that the librarian uses the STAR score to control access, and there shouldn't be anything in a K-6 library higher than eleven-point(something).
