[quote=Anonymous]I also have a kid who won't read sad books (or watch sad movies)... but my kid has LD and actually only reads at all if bribed! I looked in the curriculum, and it's not *all* bad. For instance, they read Poe's 'Tell Tale Heart' in 8th grade, I read that back in the 80s in English class. And 7th grade's unit 4 on the harms of social media for teens might be more helpful to kids than reading Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry (which my 7th grader is reading at her charter school this year). But I agree, it's strange to think kids will go from reading one novel or play in 9th and 10th to many in 11th and 12th. I have great sympathy for the ELA teachers in DCPS (and charters) because the range of abilities is so vast. [/quote]
