That said, school really isn't helping this year!! He used to bring a book in his backpack to fill the time between drop off and school start, even trying to get to school early for reading time, and the end of the day if he finished his work. Now he's not allowed to read at the beginning of the day, [b]if they're there early they have to do math on iReady[/b]. [b]He's allowed to read for 10 minutes at the end of the day IF he's done 15 minutes of math and 15 minutes of ELA in iReady, but ONLY from one specific shelf in the classroom, nothing he selects from home or the school library. [/b]Yeah, he isn't allowed to read a school library book that isn't from that shelf.

And what’s insane is this slavish dedication to iReady and other computer programs, and to restricting students reading to specific books/ levels, has only resulted in lower reading scores. And yet we as educational institutions continue on the same trajectory. Edtech is the doom of ES, it really is.[/quote]
