FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for May 29, 2013

Wow. There’s lazy, and then there’s that.

They NEED to reinvent Teaching… to MAKE it interesting to LEARN…

That’d be Cliffs Notes from about 10 novels… is a novel a month reasonable? I don’t remember reading assignments in English being quite so vigorous.

Never would have passed English classes in junior high, if it weren’t for the Lit. part. Diagramming sentences, shudder. Bored me stiff, didn’t care then and still could give a rodents rear end about all that. Guess it shows, huh?

It’s interesting as an adult to go back and re-read some of the books you had to read in high school. Once you don’t have to analyze them, they can be pretty good.

Now I have joined a book club at my library. We read a book and meet to discuss it. Much more enjoyable than the high school method of vocabulary, etc. We can even argue that it was a terrible book, whatever it was.

Now, just skim on Wikipedia.

Peter is a real dummy if he thinks cliff notes will help him. I rather read the books.

He’d better be able to at least match the title with the author.

hmph…‘reply’ doesn’t work for me.@Strod120 pages per Cliffs Notes seems reasonable as an upper bound.@ScyphiI figured a regular, generic high school English class.
