DD's literature book is read only in class, aloud - occasionally by students reading paragraphs aloud, but more often by following along to an audiobook.

Really makes me wonder. Really? 6th grade? At what point is it reasonable to expect kids to be responsible for reading the darn chapter???

And then I get to spend my time at home teaching her the meaning of 'theme' as applied to literature, because they don't have time in class before the 'theme' assignment is due.
