[quote=Anonymous]I think this article makes a solid case for a school-wide initiative, but they way they describe it needs to be one (or the only) big school improvement objective. At DCI literacy is obviously extremely important, but the narrow scope presented in this article isn't the focus. Intercultural education, bilingual literacy and social justice are the roots of everything DCI does in every course. What's more, a love of reading is not a panacea for curing society's woes. If I had a choice (and I do!) I wouldn't be interested in a school that had, "Instill a love of fiction" as the main driver of the school's plan. Having a love for reading is my job as a parent. This type of focus has its place in schools where kids, "Haven't read a book in a year." BTW, the kids at DCI use real books, too. [/quote]
