I remember SRA and I really liked it. My teacher let me do SRA when I finished my work early and it was an incentive for me to finish early.

I was shocked to find out that in our school all the kids have to read the same books and do the same work regardless of their ability. Crayons are still on the school supply lists for 4th and 5th grade. I wonder if they are supposed to color when they finish their work early. This is one of many reasons we had to homeschool.
