[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'd also point out that, in response to someone's comment about reading an abridged version of the Odyssey, this happened at both a public AND private school that I attended in the 90s, so this is not new unless you classify the mid-90s as "new." [/quote] +1 I read the abridged version in the 90s also, as did my freshman in Honors English 9 at a Catholic high school this year. There's only so much time in the school year and it's just one of multiple books they have to get through and take tests on, write essays, do character analysis, etc. I assume honors in public is the same. I don't think this one example is a sign of decline, more that the teacher has to make tradeoffs for how they want to allocate instructional time. Her younger siblings want to go to Robinson for IB instead of a Catholic school so I'll be able to respond back with a direct comparison in a few years.[/quote]
