[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, Op's 11th grader is suggesting Animal Farm as a high school curriculum option. I read it in middle school a gazillion years ago, and my MCPS 8th grader is also reading it in 8th grade. [/quote] OP here. Yes, we moved here from DC and my son had also read it as a middle schooler. His teacher was looking for suggestions for the general-level 9th grade English class, not the honors English class. That said, our first year here, DC was in 9th grade, and took Honors English. That teacher decided it would be too hard for the students to read the Shakespeare play they were required to study under the district syllabus, so instead they watched the Leonardo DiCaprio/Claire Danes movie. In Honors English. The PP who said to appreciate the education available in DC has a point! [/quote] Whaaat? We read Romeo and Juliet and the “reward” was watching the Baz Luhrman version (which is very good) in my 8th grade English class….[/quote]
