Sometimes the universe makes sense. I was upset about an AR issue, DH didn't get it, I check here and...voila.
DD6 skipped K and we have had a lukewarm reception. She has been taking AR tests, which I'm not crazy about since they read to take tests, not to read. She's been good though, she will read a book even if it isn't an AR one, and I encourage that. She took a test the other day, didn't do well and didn't get her point. She and I were confused about it and wanted to see the test, to see if we could learn something. Is she not reading carefully enough, did she really not understand the questions (always looking to learn about my child). Teacher said that we are just striving for perfection and need to let go, that life isn't always perfect - no connection to our actually wanting to learn something from these silly tests.
There's a chart in most AR schools, showing how many points children have completed, again, does this strive for actually learning at all?
