What is the url for finding the exemplars for middle school literature?
Quoting Lise <[email protected]>:
Did anyone look at the exemplars for middle school literature? I did. Among
the gems: Little Women (really?- my Hispanic 8th grade boys will love this
one), Tom Sawyer, Call of the Wild, Charge of the Light Brigade. Do the
creators of these standards think there hasn't been any literature worth
reading during the past 100 years?
How many of you are aware of the fact that Bill Gates' fingerprints and his
millions given to his foundations are all over these standards? Once again
we follow like sheep, not fighting back or challenging the system that would
love to privatize public education.
