In reply to the discussion: Public School Summer Reading List...Baldwin County, AL [View all]

(28,493 posts)24. There is something about this list that is making my BS meter quiver.
For one thing, aren't AP classes rigidly structured? I doubt there's any room for extra reading, even if this is supposed to be a list to pick one book to read over the summer.
And if it is for real, the teacher's sorry ass should be fired, but probably won't happen in a place like Alabama.

It didn't come from the school board. It was an individual teacher's reading list
