What are you reading right now? (possible RotE spoilers)

[fool-ish]

I'll have to go and find out about Lord of the Flies now! Thinking on it, 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was my daughter's school read and my son plodded through 'Jane Eyre' for his English Lit. The boy is no reader, so of course it bored him witless, but my daughter, an avid reader, quite enjoyed her book.

Different strokes for different folks and schools need to become more aware of this.

unfortunately, hereabouts the ones in charge of what is taught are either teachers (who have influence over a small number) or politicians who meddle in things they really should leave to others. (they generally tend to heap extra work on teachers without bothering with removing work, then complaining when teachers cant cope with the ever-increasing workloads.

It's much the same over here. Any public sector establishment (The NHS, for whom I work included) is ruled with an iron hand by our politicians. And most certainly not for the better. But that's another rant for another time!
