[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What an ignorant statement. Its never a waste to read classic literature when you're in school.[/quote] One does not read "classic literature" in school (or out of school). One reads specific books, short stories, etc. And yes, I actually think it is a waste of time to assign a book that students are going to get very little out of, when one could instead assign a book that students will get much more out of. For example, my kid, at age 11, was assigned My Brother Sam Is Dead. (That was a Newbery Honor book, not to mention a very good book in my opinion, but maybe you don't consider it "classic literature".) Still plenty to think about and be challenged by -- but much more at an 11-year-old's level.[/quote]
