[quote=Anonymous]Enough hand-wringing over “the classics”. Fwiw I *love* the classics and have read many on my own time since elementary school and I am now reading annotated versions of books I read a few decades ago. But my love did NOT arise from English class. If anything, English class could have killed it because it was *so boring* discussing these books with classmates who clearly did not give a F. Let students pick from a variety of books, modern and classic, written by a diverse set of authors about diverse themes. If they don’t enjoy what they are reading, why will they put energy into analyzing it? I do put a hard stop at Harry Potter though - the prose is so poor it makes my brain hurt.[/quote]
