Crissy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 so my 15 year old just turned in the only paper I assigned to him this summer. He read The Count of Monte Cristo during the months of June and July and wrote an awesome eleven-page paper comparing/contrasting Dantes' quest for justice to the brand of revenge sought by characters in modern movies and literature. :D I think he's ready for the classroom.

He will be starting college classes next fall, so we are using a full year at the high school as a transition period. Thanks, Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
