[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it Kite Runner? My child had to read that in ninth grade and found it extremely disturbing. [/quote] Mine had to read it in 6th but they never said anything about it or led me to believe it was violent.[/quote] Your child read the Kite Runner in 6th grade?? I find that incredibly hard to believe.[/quote] My child read Animal Farm and Things Fall Apart as assigned reading in 6th grade. Which, ok, but even at the time, I wondered what they thought an 11-year-old would get out of it.[/quote] I read Things Fall Apart in my PhD program. It wasn’t a difficult book to read, language-wise, but it had some deep themes. Although I honestly don’t think it was anything smart kids couldn’t get in a really well-led class discussion. Mine read it in the humanities magnet, but I’m not sure whether it’s on the standard curriculum list. [/quote]
