[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused.  My kids went through 4 years each in MCPS and they never read Melville or Shakespeare.  Every English book they read was about the struggle of some disadvantaged group or person.  I guess the did read Animal Farm which is considered a classic but the main message there is that some people are more equal than others so it fits the narrative.[/quote]

My kids have read Shakespeare in their MCPS schools. Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, IIRC. Don't remember any Melville specifically, but it's possible the older kid read Bartleby the Scrivener. No high school kid is reading Moby Dick in school; that's for college English majors only.[/quote]

Also, have they read the entire play, or just excerpts?

At our nonW MS, they just pick out excerpts to have the kids read.  Kids rarely read an entire book.  [/quote]

My kids also read a half dozen Shakespeare plays at their non W focus RS  The entire play. [/quote]
