My 2nd grader scored 99% on the assessment test (and 98% in
first grade so it isn't a fluke)...but fails many of the ar
tests she takes. It took us a while to get to the bottom of
the issue -- but my question is how to get the teachers to
teach the importance of reading and comprehending vs
getting a good grade on the test? They give awards each
week if you get a 100% on an ar test..but no one even tells
us if they get a 60% or worse...they ignore it (teachers
do) until the report card comes out.

So, how do I communicate a better way to help the kids
through this?
