Judy Moody Goes to College by Megan McDonald

2.0

My 8 year old and I read this one together. I have to say that I'm trying to use different methods to have her learn her multiplication facts and she won't use flash cards now because Judy called them babyish. Really?! Like we couldn't have brought it back around to have them actually help someone or have her change her attitude about them? I am frustrated that the book made such a big deal about them. And the kids all throwing the test at the end to get to go to college? Really? We've enjoyed all of the Judy books up to this one but we're going to take a break because I'm so irritated by the way school was portrayed. It didn't make sense that because Judy was being disrespectful to the sub, she got to go play with a college kid? None of it was cohesive and it really didn't show appropriate behavior for a 3rd grader. Who drops their kid off with a college student for the day anyway? No more Judy moody for us.
