[quote=Anonymous]I do think that we are getting away from teaching kids to read challenging language, which is a shame. But just because something doesn't have challenging language doesn't mean it can't be taught and analyzed with rigor. To add to the comment about reading The Wind in the Willows in college, my high school senior AP lit class was very rigorous, and one student picked a Dr. Seuss book for her big paper. She picked it because it was easy, sure, but the paper was still academically rigorous and she wasn't really getting out of much work. [/quote]
