[quote=Anonymous]It seems odd, I agree, but schools aren't reading the same classics that most of us read in the 1980s or 1990s. I'm not sure when things shifted (I graduated from HS in 1996) so it's possible that a teacher in their 30s might have read completely different books in school. Maybe HS literature is no longer about Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, Joseph Conrad, the Bronte sisters, the Odyssey, George Orwell, and the like. Of all the books my kids have read to date in middle school, the only one I knew was The Witch of Blackbird Pond.[/quote]
