[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One data point: My child in Honors 9th grade English at Langley is reading an abridged version of the Odyssey. It’s about 1/3 the length of the original book and the language is simplified. I read the full book when I was in 9th grade in FCPS and her older cousin also read the full book about 10 years ago in another FCPS high school. [/quote] Wow! My 6th grader is reading 2 versions of the Odyssey. She's reading the long version I read in highschool and a graphic novel. She has to write a compare and contrast essay. She's in a private episcopal school.[/quote] The Episcopal schools are excellent. Unfortunately they are much more expensive than Catholic schools (no Vatican subsidies) and they cannot offer financial aid to everyone. [/quote]
