[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All books that are used in English classes go through a review process that includes a committee with parents of students at the school. Additionally, all books are listed on the syllabus at the beginning of the year and parents have to sign that they have read the syllabus. You can opt your kid out of reading any of the books. Generally NBD as most schools have moved to kids reading books in literature circles (a few book chioces each unit centered around a theme). As for books in the library, you can ask your kid what they are checking out or have them pull up their library account. [/quote]

Oh my God.  What school does your child attend that you actually received or had access to a SYLLABUS???  And then had to sign it???[/quote]

Chantilly HS. AP Lit

King Lear
Interpreter of Maladies 
Posionwood Bible
Hamlet
Othello
Medea
Oedipus Rex (which I know you want banned)

Etc.

“An alternate assignment will be provided if parent or student object to the content, etc, etc”

We had a similar list last year in AP Lang.

Better question, what HS class doesn’t have a syllabus. All my kids’ do.  Go to Schoology under “Start Here”[/quote]

LCPS didn’t have any sort of syllabus sent home.  Where did I state that I wanted “Oedipus Rex” banned?  I was expressing shock that you claimed you actually saw your child’s course syllabus that required your signature.  Ease up!  IME, LCPS sends nothing home and requires no signatures for anything.
