Education

in most elementary classrooms in Oklahoma. Starting next year, 3rd graders have to pass the reading test or suffer mandatory repeat of 3rd grade. Against a parents wishes. Our school does not "have time " to teach science or history in elementary. It is such a disgrace to our students. We have implemented Common Core standards, which places an emphasize on reading in every subject. Maybe this will help teachers put more focus on other areas. At least that is my hope.
