Mandatory Reading in schools
Can someone throw out some of the books kids are now required to read in High School?

Mandatory Reading in schools
I don't think that there are universally required books anymore. A few years ago when I taught 9th and 12th grade social studies, I remember my students reading Romeo and Juliet, Fahrenheit 451, A Streetcar Named Desire, Flowers for Algernon, and Inherit the Wind. That's all I can remember! This was like 4 years ago.

All schools are different. I teach HS English and I have taught the following:
Of Mice and Men A Raisin in the Sun Romeo and Juliet Speak To Kill a Mockingbird A Streetcar Named Desire The Crucible Fahrenheit 451 The Great Gatsby Hamlet Macbeth Night Lord of the Flies Frankenstein Their Eyes Were Watching God The Bluest Eye The Glass Menagerie Death of a Salesman My Sisters Keeper The Lovely Bones The Kite Runner

Re: Mandatory Reading in schools
Some classic books I've taught (multiple times) are:
The Lord of the Flies Romeo and Juliet The Odyssey The Catcher in the Rye To Kill a Mockingbird Macbeth Pride and Prejudice Hamlet The Great Gatsby
Let me know if you need to know more!
(Edited because I just realized you asked for required.)
