Worms on the menu at Tiefort View school
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Students voted for the worm-eating 'reward' which they earned by amassing more than 50,000 points reading books this year through an online program that assigns points to books based on the reading difficulty. Students only earn points when they take a test on the book and pass. 'The Cat in the Hat' by Dr. Seuss is worth only .5 points, versus the latest Harry Potter book, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,' which is worth 34 points. Fourth-grader Megan Renshaw, who earned the most points with 862, said she would have preferred to see Moore dance like a ballerina- another possible stunt for the principal to perform- but it was beaten out by worm-eating in the student vote.
