chasing pavements (mid diagnosis edition)

Today ends my task on administering mid-diagnostics to grade 2s and grade 3s of our project entitled Every Reader a Leader. Since the start of the school year we’ve been going around different schools around the Metro to see where the students are with regard to their reading comprehension skills. And this one “last” day didn’t bring a good one, I lost most of the data because I’ve overlooked that the Deep Freeze is activated and the back up I got on my flash drive got infected by a stubborn virus that turns every folder into an EXE. At some point it would seem inappropriate to note their mid diagnosis since they’ve done no intervention after the first diagnosis. But just the same I felt bad that something started so smooth would be gone to waste.
