[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Classroom "libraries" are usually a hodgepodge group of inexpensive Scholastic books and freebies that a teacher has managed to beg off their local Buy Nothing group. They can't be compared to the curated collection of fiction and non-fiction books that have been chosen and organized by a professional to support learning objectives and provide factual information. It's like calling the Little Free Library on your street corner the equivalent of a public library. [/quote] The classroom library is far less diverse and often skews to the lowest common denominator, so if you have an advanced reader, the only way they’ll have appropriate reading material is from the school library, because the librarian will steer kids to their appropriate levels. Not everyone can send books from home. FLES was a total waste of time and only turned my kids off Spanish. Neither continued with it beyond ES. This is APS. [/quote]
