Tolkien in school? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm in 8th grade, and we're reading Romeo and Juliet right now [Act2]. The only time I read Tolkien [in class] was in 6th grade when I suggested it to my teacher: The Hobbit [but it was sort of a review for me because I had read it already]. Maybe they don't do Tolkien in classes much, because it's too long [esp. if you have slow readers in class], but I wish they would add it in the system a bit more...

BTW: I'm going to be in 9th grade soon!
