[quote=Anonymous]I have no issue with any of these books. Last year’s 7th grade book lists at our school were almost totally books written in the last 20yrs. As much as I think the issues being addressed in current novels are important, at that age I had my first introduction to Shakespeare in class, we read Beowulf in 8th. There is value in classics as well, and it does disappoint me that our schools no longer find ways to help kids find the value in classic works as well. We do them a disservice by presuming they won’t like something that isn’t modern fiction. [/quote]
