Tolkien in school? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Some schools do have The Hobbit or The Fellowship of the Ring on the reading syllabus, but I never got to read anything by Tolkien in school. I wish I could have; there's one exam I'd be sure to ace! Seriously, Tolkien's works are classics, and I think students could really benefit from studying both the writing style and the themes.
