    As a black person the reading ‘Of Mice and Men’ nowadays probably is not an enjoyable experience. (I’m not black).

    For her I’d imagine hearing certain words being read out in a white dominated class is an uncomfortable experience.

    It was a classic way back then…but times have changed and it no longer deserves that accolade.

    But the UK/US education system has always struggled with what makes a ‘classic’. #Reading #Education #Classic
