[quote=Anonymous]My kids at FCPS HS read a good number of books, plays, etc. in 9th. No summer reading list though. At our HS, most 9th graders start with the Odyssey, move on to Shakespeare (R&J, Hamlet), and often Frankenstein, some dystopian novel, some Kurt Vonnagen, etc. How deep a dive they do in the analysis of these text depends on the class, teacher, and the engagement of the cohort. Kids who don't do the reading lead to disenchanted teachers who can't drum up a meaningful class discussion, and eventually they give up until the next unit. [/quote]
