/lit/ - Literature

Which grade?

Why don't we let the children decide? Why should so-called "adults" decide everything for them?

>>16137946
because adults know better, no?

The book the core curriculum told him to give. Could be anything as long as the writer isn't a white male.

The only thing we know is that adults think they know better.

Lolita, I will give particular classes if you want girls

>>16137946
Good idea, future generations of children will probably already be more mature millennials

Outlines of Pyrhhonism by Sextus Empiricus

Because people need outside stimulus to drive them forward to improve. They’d read LEGO tie in books their whole lives if you left it up to them.

>>16138036
Definitely not. You must have never been around kids and teens as it seems. Some, sure. But some adults also still exclusively watch star wars.

>>16138058
it's no wonder that people are so horrible when they start their life as children

>>16138072
Not all adults are horrible and neither are all kids.

Good choice, however, I think TGOW would spark up much more discussion.

Cannibals of Candyland, so that I can identify who the monster girl fans in my class are and become friends with them

>>16137935
The Bible

>>16137946
Honestly I agree with that but you should impose some limits. Like maybe the book has to be at least 200 pages long.

>>16137946
Gas the adults, age-war now!

Culture of Critique

>>16137946
People here don’t understand the way education is going now, because this is exactly what we’re moving towards. I assign a few books throughout the year, and then at times I provide a long list of recommended books for them to choose from, and at times I let them pick whatever they want and help guide them to something that’s appropriate for their level and the work we’re doing.

The History of the French Revolution by Thomas Carlyle.

Ulysses, might as well filter them while they're young.

WHY SHOULDN'T CHILDREN JUST MAKE ALL OF THEIR DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES LMAO

I’m actually a high school English teacher. I try to sneak in more difficult works when I can, but you can’t go hitting the kids with The Book of Disquiet, for example, when they’re still learning what it means to be moral, rational creatures.

How stupid are your students, on average?

Tbh senpai great literature should be reserved for the intellectual elite. The retard masses should not have access to the highbrow

>>16140779
Serious question, how do you handle the prime teen pussy?

>>16140784
Most of my students don’t give a shit about the language or literature in general. Frankly, not many are suited to studying it. Every now and again, though, a student comes along who shows real promise and just gets it, so to speak. Those types are a treat to work with.
>>16140810
It’s been a bit of a problem, I must say. One student in particular was very obviously into me, and to be honest, I wanted her, too. I was considering writing a novel about the scenario.

>>16140883
Do most male high school teachers struggle with this or are some able to compartmentalize better?

>>16140907
Tough to say. I’d say the guys are a bit better at setting boundaries. Most of the female teachers who get a lot of attention almost encourage it by failing to discipline their students when they push things too far.

>>16137946
Because, unlike you, most people develop mentally beyond childhood.

>>16137946
Why the fuck isn't my filter workinf? Fuck you

Are young attractive women even allowed to teach high schoolers? I never had any after elementary school. Seems like too much of a classroom distraction.

The Faerie Queene

I had an extremely hot female math teacher for two years in high school, starting in Freshman year. Who knows what I could be by now if I didn't spend such crucial years learning to suppress boners instead of basic math?

A Clockwork Orange.

This but unironically

Bending the rule a bit but I would choose A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson and then I'd get them to read a chapter each, and do an oral presentation to the class on their chapter.

How does it make you feel that the former will always have more power than the latter?

Also do you teach advanced placement English or Coretard English?
