[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gag me with a spoon. I get it now. It’s about the racism. Yes, it is correct that in APS, and also Fairfax, they don’t read a lot of old white man philosophy and there’s diversity in the student body. [/quote]

You're a typical online troll trying to punch above your weight class. What non-racist books do you suggest? Please submit a list so that I can show you that many of them are probably more racist. Did you want me to list Tubman, Paton, Haley, Truong Nhu Tang, Sun Tzu, Confucius, etc.? Thanks for your concern but they're also on the shelf. Many of the books in the house were assigned in K-12, undergrad, or grad school at some point and we're not even humanities majors. Our kids are actually STEM focused so they've also read math and science books. But we don't censor actual literature. We do, however, have none of those modern age, poorly edited, 500L "books that have sentences only to make everyone that agrees with me feel good while we gag others with a spoon" laying around. Not to say our kids haven't read that fluff either but those were library books or assigned in English and history classes and most were one session reads.[/quote]

DP. Goodness, get over yourself. You sound more ridiculous every time you post. My kid was reading Jules Verne and Sherlock Holmes books for fun in middle school (though I’m sure those don’t meet your standard). He also read Percy Jackson & Wings of Fire.

And I agree that APS English classes are lackluster prior to AP lang, but this is not unique to APS by any stretch. And when I was in middle school, we did not read whole books as a class. That started in HS. We chose our own books, just as kids mainly do in APS middle school now. Your expectations are over the top, with you even dismissing great, classic literature because it doesn’t have a high enough Lexile. [/quote]
