I was  glad to see what Laura and Bill had to say about AR. Our district has  
 
had AR for about 10 years. My school gives the kids an hour a day for AR.  


Wow!  Where in the world do you get one hour a day for this?  I  have a 
mandated 120 minute literacy block.  A one hour math block.  30  minutes for lunch, 
30 minutes for resource classes and 30 minutes of mandated  recess time.  
That doesn't leave much time for Social  Studies/Science.
 
We are supposed to give the students 30 minutes a day for reading.   Mine 
don't get that much time, and quite honestly most of them can't sit still  that 
long.
