[quote=Anonymous][quote=FGDaddio][quote=Anonymous]25 years ago, 9th grade English in Arlington included The Odyssey, Catcher In the Rye, The Glass Menagerie, Black Boy, Romeo and Juliet, books by Zora Neale Hurston, etc. Existentialism was a big theme. Both Gen Ed and Intensified. [/quote] My APS 9th grader this year has read Romeo and Juliet, Odyssey, Catcher, Night, and at least 2 more I can't recall off the top of my head. They are certainly reading books in 9th grade English.[/quote] Which school? I've had 2 go through 9th grade (general and intensified) at WHS and neither read that many in one year. If it's a difference between schools, then I'll have more standing to advocate for a more rigorous program.[/quote]
