Re: [LM_NET] Target: (Elem) Teachers restricting books-The Absolute Worst!

[Frances Murphy <librarylady2726@YAHOO.COM>]

I have a 6th grade teacher who is requiring every child to read a one point AR book 
each night.  One of her students checked out a Bill Peet book that was worth one 
point.  He enjoyed it and wanted to read more, but the rest of them are only worth 
one half point each.  I told him to ask her if he could check out TWO of the half 
point books (which he really wanted to read!) thinking 2 halfs would equal 1 point. 
 She actually said NO.  Imagine, a child has found books he really wants to read 
and the teacher will not let him.  I was speechless....
