[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP- -and we are all blinded by Wilson. It’s the best in DC but overall pretty substandard. Rereading a book in college is one thing. It’s a waste of trim for eread, in school, a book that was assigned in middle school. DCPS should coordinate this across grades. It’s not hard and yet DCPS fails again. There are also better books by more diverse authors for 9th grade. Stop making excuses Wilson parents, demand a better education for kids. [/quote] I am not a Wilson parent or teacher, but I disagree that it’s a waste of time to reread in HS a book read in middle. There’s a lot lost on younger kids due to more limited background knowledge and emotional immaturity. A lot happens between 11 and 15 to make it worth re-examining a book. Especially when there are cross-curricular connections with what is studied in social studies and science. The novel’s physical and temporal settings actually mesh well with the DCPS science and SS curriculum.[/quote]
