[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has read several in AAP throughout the years but I notice that they don’t seem to read the classics anymore. Do they even do that in HS?[/quote] Yes, in some, but those same theme, conflicts, etc are available in many others books that students can better relate to nowadays.[/quote] We used to read books and relied on the adults to help us understand how their universal themes related to us. Books were meant to expand your experience and show you a beautiful craft using words. Now, the books have to be representing a kid's "lived experience." Well, a lot of the books show an experience that we need to help kids escape, not wallow in.[/quote]
