[quote=Anonymous]Is this concern really coming out of your child's experience in a classroom or something parents are just worried about might happen? There are plenty of non-fiction books being taught and read in schools. I only have a 3rd grader, but between all the subjects, he spend at least half of the time reading non-fiction. OP doesn't think fiction is educational. I think that says a lot about her intellect. 7:55 doesn't think literature book from this past century is important enough to teach. The problem really is that most adults are not reading fiction anymore so they forget it's importance. Our society is becoming more narcissistic because of it. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/fiction-readers-an-endangered-species-2013-10-11[/quote]
