If someone used my name to send you an email, it wasn't me. I
only post on the site, not to an individual. I discovered this
site very recently. I am a huge proponent of AR and have used
it for 14 years. I work in a small private school and my
principal says one of the biggest complaints he gets is parents
who complain about their kids getting no points for tests below
a 60. He says in any other subject, you would still get some
credit for low scores, but he has not been trained on AR and
how it works so I wasn't getting through to him. He needed to
appease the parents so he was going to make us give them some
points somehow, by either doing a book report, letting them
take the test again, or completely throw out AR! I was beside
myself and came here for help and advice which I did get some
from a few teachers. I also got slammed by a few, but I agree
with Deb. We need to help each other out and if you do not
like AR, you should go somewhere else to gripe about it. This
is a place for people who do use AR and want help using it.
Thanks!
