Awww that is a shame!

Yeah if we "obeyed" and DS read ONLY RR at school and at home he'd probably still be at RR, which I believe is their goal. They want the kids to do well but not too well. I noticed that our school is monitored/graded for "closing the achievement gap" ("Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap – all student scores are used to define how well a school is making progress toward proficiency of all students")... I wonder if that has an effect. Although, in our case, it could be as simple as DS is way ahead so why bother with him - they have behind/at risk students to worry about ...and I do understand but, still, they could take a minute or two to at least move him up on 100 book challenge levels even without the DRA. He has so many 'lows' he seems to need his 'highs' yk?
