Congratulations, Jennifer! Sadly, you are a rare breed these days. In their heart of hearts, most administrators feel this way, I'm sure. However, they are being compelled by the 'Higher ups" and state/federal mandates (mandates that are created by people who have never taught.) THANK YOU for being one who dares to do the right thing!

I still believe in student choice of reading materials, that good teachers are better than programs, and the best way to teach a child to read is to become a good observer of the child--he will show you the way he learns best. I am saddened by these stories... It is why I went into administration.... To have a little more leverage to make things right.
