| Re: A most peculiar take on Ender's Game
I just finished teaching Ender's Game to my ninth grade accelerated English class, and most of them enjoyed it. None of them complained about anything like "pedophilia, incest, and child abuse."
The only complaint a few of them had was the profanity, but this is Mississippi, smack dab in the middle of the Bible belt, and folks are ultra-conservative.
Even so, it was a very good experience for the class.......they grappled with issues some of them had never thought of before. I look forward to next year's go at the book. |
