Sir: Re: “It’s time to modernize high school English,” from the Jan. 4, 2018 Chatham Voice.
I, and many, many students for the past decades, would like to thank Mary Beth for her stand to modernize the English curriculum.
When I was a student, decades ago, we had to learn in history class who all the kings and queens of England were, who they married, whom they sired and whom they killed. It’s a topic that does not come up often in daily conversation.
As you stated, a waste of student’s energy and time.
