[LM_NET] Thanks-Series book advice

[Meagan Newberry <oldberry@GMAIL.COM>]

Thanks to all for all the responses in agreement and disagreement in
terms of series books being "banned..." our real problem is lack of
selection overall, and while I understand teachers wanting kids to
"branch out" it kills me when I see a kid saddened that he can't read
the next Jack and Annie. I just want kids to read, period! I do let
them get 2 books, but now some teachers want them to have 2 AR
"on-level" books. I guess I'll just let them get 3 so they can still
get one they really want to read. I wish I didn't hate AR so much...I
understand its purpose but it gets over and mis-used. Won't get on
that soapbox though...Thanks again, I always appreciate all the input
from this group as I'm new at and still learning this job!
