[quote=Anonymous]I have a ton of books in my house, about half fiction and half non-fiction. I can't imagine anything more boring than being forced to read a nonfiction book I am not interested in. And I'm guessing you are not in a book group as a recreational activity, as many of us are. That being said, my kids (5th and 7th gr) have always had teachers that have required them to read a variety of genres (nonfiction, realistic fiction, historical fiction, biography, etc). That seems to be the way to get kids interested in reading--they can try out everything and (hopefully) find a type of literature they enjoy and can pursue outside of school. There's something for everyone, and schools need to meet the needs of everyone, not just the scientist's kids. [/quote]
