(Picture me as a nuclear chain reaction, engulfing things ever more distant from my center. First Chatzy, then posted just for my friends, and now here).

I've just posted a furious rant about the very idea of labeling the books in my library by reading level. Visit my LJ! Send me sympathy! Join me in watching my blood pressure go skyrocketing into the stratosphere!

I've posted to your LJ. I am still shaking my head over these lunatics. Ask them to show you research that supports their decision. I'd imagine they can't.

*blinks in alarm before sending over a whole platter of mini-muffins, so assauge the cave creature that is Leslie*

I'm with Checkers. They can't turn around like this and criticise your methods after saying they wouldn't - particularly if there's nothing wrong with the kids' reading levels. And I have to say, I've heard nothing good about the system you mentioned that they liked.

Breathe Leslie. Take a deep breath and let it out s l o w l y.

Then go and call down the wrath of the gods on their foolish heads.

Librairies...

I commiserate. Philosophy-wise people can be worlds apart and it's so frustrating when people don't even ask you to explain your process. Hang in there!!

The...idiots!

Something similar was forced on us in school and all it did was make me suffer years of torture of books with no plot!! I'm probably scarred for life.

No wonder you're angry. Don't you let them do anything! I'll think vengeful thoughts and send them in the direction of the Lexile people.
