[LM_NET] TAR: Pros/Cons on Accelerated Reader

[Brenda McElyea <Brenda.McElyea@PISD.EDU>]

I've scanned the archives and have found some information to help me but
have also decided to ask my question specifically.  I was just
approached my our literacy specialist who has been asked very pointedly
why we don't have Accelerated Reader when other schools in the districts
do.  I am able to articulate my reasons but would like some input from
others.  We are a high achieving public elementary school in which 95% -
100% of students regularly pass the state reading exams.  The vast
majority of students are also very enthusiastic about reading and coming
to the library.

Please send your input to me Brenda.McElyea@pisd.edu ....pro or
con....regarding Accelerated Reader and/or like programs.  I will post a
hit.  Thank you!!!!
