I don't understand why my childs teacher is restricting what books my child can get from the library. My child is in third grade and reads at a 6th grade or higher level. My child has followed all her teachers guidelines, and after she meets and exceeds the goals set out before her she tries to get higher level books. The teacher then tells her to put it back that her points are high enough. I'm confused and my daughter is frustrated! Please help

Talk with your child's teacher. I doubt if anyone knows her reasons but her.

That's NUTS! We have used AR for 15 years at our school, quite successfully, and I have NEVER heard of forcing a child to take a test on a book he/she hadn't read. What kind of crazy policy is that?????? Learn to use the program properly or don't bother.
