[quote=Anonymous]Warning: useless thread on a minor point: We live outside the DC area. Yesterday the 11th grade AP Language teacher asked my son’s class for book recommendations for her next year’s 9th grade regular English class. My son suggested “Animal Farm,” which he loved, and then the teacher told his class that she had never read any George Orwell. Maybe I’m out of touch, but I’m finding this such a wild thing for a high school English teacher to admit. She’s in her 30s, if that matters. But I thought everyone winds up reading Animal Farm or 1984 in high school, and then surely you’d read something or other by Orwell if you were an English major, or else during your career as a high school English teacher?[/quote]
