ReplyDeleteMonrovia Reads is so effective that 85% or Monrovia 3rd graders are below standard in reading according to state data from 2022-23. Look it up. It’s true. MR is now more or less a division of the Foothill Democrats and their privileged cronies now, handing out books to kids who pretty much don’t really need them or want them but take them because they are free and pretending it’s producing results of some kind. Joanne was a nice lady though.
