My daughter was put in a higher level reading thanks to last year's testing. She now has to read 2 grade levels above hers. So instead of the fun books kids read she gets to pick from books totally not geared towards her age. Her love for reading is evaporating as now she is forced to read books above her maturity level for a good grade. Way to punish the ones who test high!!! Now she knows if she dumbstruck herself down during test time she can have an easy year next year. This curriculum is a joke. Close Quote
