On book fairs...

and those who think they know best....

CrazyHorse is in 1st grade. He reads like he's in 4th grade. The lovely volunteers at School's bookfair decided that he was not *allowed* to get books on his level because they didn't believe him that he reads at that level. His teacher wasn't in the room of course or she would have helped.

It just frustrates me that these people want to pigeon hole children by age instead of ability. Have they never dealt with accelerated or disabled children? Age is a poor determining factor.

Basically - I'm just POd and there's not a whole lot I can do.
