Tolkien in school? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree with Nevatalathiel. While we would enjoy it I think that if you forced students into it, than they wouldn't like it. I've read books before that i liked when i read them on my own, but when i was forced to read them in class I hated them. I think it's better that people discover tolkien at their own pace and in their own way. Besides i think half of the kids in my school would be too thick to understand most of it.
