Monica's lament finally prompted me to ask: how does such a program
work? What do you do about students who enter the school just before
school starts? Are they exempt from the requirement? What about
returning students who don't read the books? How do you evaluate the
effort? What about the child who reads all the books in the first week
of vacation and then forgets everything in them by the time school
starts again?
