Am I the only one that finds it like useless? We have to read Huck Finn now, which, dont get me wrong, its a great book... but not really for high schoolers IMO. I read it in like 4th grade, and now I have to read it again in my Sr. Year? And get meaning out of Huck Finn? I like to read, but I dont do it to get meaning, I just read for the fun of the story and all. We have to read it, answer all kinds of questions about it, take quizes on the topic, listen to the teachers opions on the book, take notes every page or so on the book, journal about it... Is it just me, or doesnt anyone else see reasons why kids these days might not like to read so much?...
There are good things to english class, grammers stuff is important, but thats covered pretty well in 3rd-8th grade. I dont think another 4 years is too nessesary.... maybe a 1 or 2 semester class on grammer again in like Sr. Year, but not literature...
Just my opinions though.
