[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is going to Westland as a 7th grader and I emailed the school to ask whether this was a requirement. It is. Apparently they'll be discussing the book ad nauseam all year. I'm as lefty as they come, but I greatly miss the days of classical education, and reading classical literature (with appropriate explanations on misogyny, historical stance against homosexuality, class systems, etc). Rick may be a valuable book to open children's minds, but it certainly is not well-written. I wish Westland had more of a balance between modern culture and great writing. [/quote] Oh, that is ridiculous. Will this be part of the Middle Years IB? Did they provide more details? Any way for parents to opt out?[/quote]
