[quote=Anonymous]I think it's fair to assume that nearly all incoming Wilson students have not yet read Lord of the Flies. Given that they are entering a high school (ANY high school) and at an age where cliques, exclusionary behavior, cyber and in-person bullying is rampant ... I think there are plenty of parallels to draw from the book, even on a surface level. It will not kill OP's kid to read it twice, along with her peers. It is one class of many, and the book will not be the only one they read all year. My oldest DS, who is in college, has been assigned a few texts that were covered in high school. It happens, and there is always more to learn. [/quote]
