That's my point - there are multiple perspectives on everything that it will be impossible to come up with a curriculum that makes everyone happy.
Teaching people to read means they can read what they choose to read. That should be the point.
- spacemanmatt 6y agoWe send people to school to learn from people who can make their educational effort more profitable, because they have experience that students do not. That extends to choice of reading material. I am not going to get on board advocating some free-for-all Libertarian educational system.
- ntsplnkv2 6y ago> free-for-all Libertarian educational system. See: strawman. Free-for-all arguing, I see. You have not established causality between educational success and reading certain required books to make such a claim. Learning to read is the key indicator - the choice of books is simply not relevant for most adolescent education. Only in the last 2 years of high school, maybe. Meanwhile students who can read can pick and choose any book they'd like, not reliant on an educational system that by its very nature needs to make sacrifices. I must ask - what books would be on your list?
