Board member Terri Leo, R-Spring, said at last month's work session that she's worried students aren't reading enough classic literature.
This is true. Our students miss so much.

If I had to read that friggin' book about Pip, then everyone has to! ;o)

Yep Our twin girls are 2 and 3 levels above grade average because we have a home version of summer school where they learn basic Math, History and English.

They tried to put the youngest in an accelerated course. When I asked her what she thought about it, she said- "Mom, it would be okay if we were assigned good stuff with pirates or spaceships, but all they ever give us to read is about characters getting in touch with their feeeeel-ings!"

Needless to say, she's not going. She can just to continue to work her way through my book collection and the local libraries.

"...she's worried students aren't reading enough classic literature."

That's because they can't read. I'm a former, H.S. History/Geography teacher in the State of Texas (Certified) and, I'm telling you the truth. We have H.S. grads who can't write or spell and don't even know how to start a sentence with an upper case letter or how to put a period at the end of the sentence.

Future breeding ground for the Democrat Party.
