READING AND RIDING

Tulsa's Gilcrease Elementary School has a problem with overage students. Some are so many grades behind that they drive themselves to school.

They are somehow able to pass the driving test, but not the mandatory reading test,

Dr. Phyllis Lovett says, "The older kids are just much more mature and their behaviors are such that our younger kids don't need to be exposed to it, and that's to put it very mildly."
