[quote=Anonymous]NP. IMHO, there are plenty of great books to teach, far more than any student could reasonably unpack in a high school career. Mockingbird is one of them, but there are lots of others. If a teacher or a school wants to replace this one with another great book, I’ve got no problem with that. FWIW, I’d dump some of the dense and unrelatable old stuff first - Beowulf, Canterbury Tales, maybe Austen - but there’s plenty of territory to cover. By the same token though, it think Mockingbird is an excellent book that’s got a lot of great lessons even in this more enlightened era, and maybe especially in this era as a demonstration of the bridge from the pre-Brown era to today. What’s more important than any of these books IMHO is what the teacher is able to draw from them. [/quote]
