I would love to let her read what she wants- or send in books from home. Last year her teacher was a bit of a rebel. She allowed my kid to pretty much read whatever she wanted (but she still documented on all official paperwork that dd8 was reading according to the school district guidelines)....I think that is why having a teacher that seems like she might actually comply with the rules this year seems so painful. This year, on the form that came home stating that the reading should be easy, they ("the third grade teachers") also state that parents are not to send books in to school with their children- or substitute books for the ones they send home. I was planning on going with.... Well, it took my kid about 5 minutes to read what you sent home- so I had to find something else to fill the 30 minutes of reading time. I'm just hoping that does not result in higher quantities of garbage being sent home.
