The school board officially dropped Reading Plus today. It is gone for good. Thank you for making this happen.

Reading Plus was created by a group of people who thought that they were helping students. But honestly, RP is just a waste of time, a bother. It takes up hours of our evenings when we could be studying more important and beneficial subjects.
We believe that grabbing an actual book and understanding it, learning it, studying it, is more beneficial than a session of RP.
Reading Plus also isn't fair to students because it doesn't give everyone a fair chance. You can't grade all the students on the same scale because they are all different, they all learn differently.
I for one do not score as the other students in my grade level. I am not a fast reader and I don't grasp the material in one read. The program only allows a certain amount of rereads which aren't enough.
Also, the topics are not things that students can relate too. Because of it, students aren't interested in what they are reading and they may tune out.
Give the students what they want and take away Reading Plus. Not everyone can score an 80% every time.

Reading plus is a big waste of time and my teachers constantly make us do it for our software programs and it is stressful trying to get my lessons done each and every week and I’m constantly worrying about my reading grade dropping because I may have failed a story.
I think that reading plus is a waste of time. It isnt improving my reading skills it is just making me not want to read anymore. The program is not very good, and I think that it is definitly better for me to read something that is actually wrote by a good author.
This does not help with reading, the stories are boring and out teachers except us to be able to do way more readings than most people can do and some of us do not have computers or phones or internet at home to do this stuff with..
I agree. It’s a waste of time especially for someone like me who is already a pretty solid reader, I don’t feel anything improving. I hate doing it, wastes time 8 could spend doing anything else for education I don’t need.
The type of stories Reading Plus gives doesn't relate to my tests, or the questions they give. Reading plus focus too much on your speed, which is unnecessary. Everyone have a different pace, and reading faster doesn
I would rather do anything, watch paint dry even then reading plus
It's so bad

I think it should be removed out of high school curriculum due to its uselessness in the high school environment. High schoolers should be focused on reading actual literature rather than using a reading program that barely helps with reading comprehension and speed.
