[quote=Anonymous]It sucks that MS English is terrible at MCPS, and OP, I totally understand why you don't want to switch to private because of this. However, if they don't have an interest in reading literature, I'm not sure it's going to work to force it on them during the summer. Not every 12 year-old wants to read Steinbeck while lounging at the pool, you know? If they're reading anything, that's a good thing, if they're busy pursuing other interests, that's also great, and their intellectual development is probably not going to be permanently harmed by a few years of classes that aren't challenging. And then in high school and college they'll have the opportunity to take classes where they'll be forced to read real meaty fiction, and if they're generally smart kids doing well in their other classes, and reading anything on their own for pleasure, they'll probably be prepared for it.[/quote]
