[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if your kid is in school with mine. He is also an 8th grader reading the hobbit. They did animal farm either last semester or last spring. I think they did a sci fi type disaster story too. I think you are hyper focusing on what your impression is of McPS. It’s called confirmation bias. With that said, I wish they would read more books and more classical literature. I read the red badge of courage n middle school. They are old enough for Shakespeare. [/quote] In fifth grade CES, DC read about half a dozen Shakespeare plays at MCPS. In middle school it's pretty much one or two books about disadvantaged people like the OP suggested. Because of this, I've made an effort to find engaging fiction and encourage them to read a book a month independently.[/quote]
