Well, the good news is that I went in this afternoon and read the little boy his first AR book. He was so excited! And he practically memorized the whole thing the first time we read it. He is obviously a very bright, sweet little boy. His teacher went ahead and let him take his test on the book while I was there, and he scored 100%. He was so proud and just beamed at me. Very cool.
My sister teaches in a middle school in Virginia. She is a reading specialist and boy does can she ever get WAY up there on her soap box about parents not being involved in their children's education. Parental participation drops way down in middle and high school, which is a shame. So many kids want to act cool and they don't want their parents hanging around the school, but the schools still really need their help.
