You have a good point, Gail. Middle school is really not the place to teach reading, and students need to learn to read in elementary school. By middle school, they are often too frustrated, and just waiting to drop out of school.

All taxquist "catch up" plan is teaching to the test. No real gains would be made, except to fleece Tax Serfs of their money and fail to "really" educate their children. They do intensive teaching to the TCAP and after up to 13 tries many can't even pass it to graduate High School.
