In our quest to make ALL students readers by
grade three, are we burning some students
out by the time they get to grade 4? Are
some of the discipline problems that we are
seeing today due to the constant pressure
and pushing to pass "the test"?

At times I feel that this is the case
especially with our most fragile and at risk
learners.
