[LM_NET] ELEM:In "charge" of AR

[Gail Wood <gwood1820@SUDDENLINK.NET>]

After 9 years of AR I am about to be fed up. It does  not appear to have helped our 
reading scores, is abused by some students and teachers, and drains me because the 
bulk of my day is consumed with dealing with it in some way or another. I have an 
aide that  check books in and out all day while I have classes. We have approx. 600 
students participating who can come to the library once a day. We watch their 
scores and monitor and adjust. Quizzes print to the library so we see most of them, 
stamp them, etc. 
 I don't want to stop the program - we have invested $$$ and I am pretty sure the 
students would quit reading.
Do you have any suggestions as to what my approach should be so that it does not 
rule my library program ?
Thank you.
