Dissident Teacher @educatedandfree - As part of a composition lesson, I gave - copy of “The Velveteen Rabbit” to my 13-14 year-old 8th grade students, then read it to them.
Some of them had never heard it. They were silent, enraptured: remembering.
At the end, one asked, “Why are you reading this kids story about a toy to us?”
And I said, “Because it’s not a kids story about a toy. It’s a story about how only love can imbue you with a soul and that love requires much of us, but gives much more in return.”
Total silence.
Even if their compositions —telling a story about a possession to which they attach strong emotion— aren’t great, the assignment will have been worth it because we got to read “The Velveteen Rabbit” together.

This is increasingly becoming an issue across the board. When I was teaching English, students often were not familiar with references to things like chicken little or the emperor’s new clothes because they were not read to as children. This makes it difficult for them to read classic novels, which are full of what were once common cultural references, it can be frustrating for both students and teacher. If we lose these ties to a common history and framework, we lose our identity and sense of self. I think a good deal of the lack of patriotism, the propensity towards self-flagellation is downstream of this.
