New Englanders and their local control, you know :-)Sarah Rettgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520851723152425929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-90152484549583087112008-05-21T21:13:00.000-04:002008-05-21T21:13:00.000-04:00Yep Sarah, the students must buy their summer read...Yep Sarah, the students must buy their summer reading titles. Its mostly private schools with required reading. The public schools have suggested reading list. Usually its one required and two selected. The students get tested their first day back.<BR/><BR/>So every state doesn't have required summer reading? <BR/>It was only that one school with gender reading but it still sucks. Though I may have been cool with it if the girls read a book with a male protagonist and vice versa.Dorethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676911030014718403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-88142813433963336392008-05-21T21:02:00.000-04:002008-05-21T21:02:00.000-04:00Wow, I can't decide which part of this makes my ja...Wow, I can't decide which part of this makes my jaw drop the most - gendered reading lists, or the required books. It's been a few years since I was in school, but even in my AP classes, the only summer book that was ever *required* was <I>A Brief History of Time</I>.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious - do the schools in your area actually expect the kids to buy their summer reading? That's the impression I get from the kids who come into my store - another thing I didn't have to do.Sarah Rettgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520851723152425929noreply@blogger.com
