[quote=Anonymous]My rising 10th grader didn't read and is now in the process of picking a book off the summer reading list posted by the school. I prefer if teachers assign specific books. When he was younger I had an easier time recommending books to him. He doesn't like picking book and prefers recommendations because he feels it's more likely to be a decent book if someone "in the know" recommends it. Last year (9th grade) his teacher let the students select their books. He ended up "rereading" books he had already read. I'm pretty sure he just skimmed them to refresh his memory enough to answer the questions posed by the teacher. I'm hoping that when he gets to his AP "English" classes in 11th and 12th he won't be able to just "phone it in" and still get a high A average every quarter.[/quote]
