Tolkien in school? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree with Nevtalathiel and Ms. Took. If we were required to read LotR in school, there would be quite a few Tolkien haters. This year we had to read Romeo and Juliet and a lot of the kids in my grade hated it just because they had to read it. I liked it, and I like LotR, so I hope that they don't require it cuz I don't want anyone to hate LotR. Sadly, Eljerial, you are not the only one with classmates that are a little behind. There are so many books that we had to read in class that are at about a fourth grade reading level [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ! And I'm in 9th grade! And it's kind of hard to talk to people when they don't understand some of the words you use... Well, that's all I have to say.
