[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is 100% a public school problem. Private schools still require reading full books. [/quote] What is fueling some public schools to move to excerpts and select chapters and not reading, synthesizing and analyzing full novels?[/quote] When I asked this at the public middle school my child attended (where books were not assigned), the answer was that the excerpts made the material more accessible, and the teachers preferred teaching excerpts. In the end, I moved my kids to private school. [/quote]
