Concerns....
  • Using STAR as "the level.  It is a tool only.  If students are reading above, that's good...but they still need to read grade level materials.

  • Money.  Budget spent on tests is considerable.

  • Good books going by wayside because they are not AR.

  • Abuse of goals and points by some teachers.

  • Restrictions on students' choice of material.

  • Arrangement of library...from Dewey Decimal to "point level"
