That was 5th grade for me. I still wonder what that teacher was thinking.

Did the teacher at least spend time discussing it, or did they just lay it on you and let you sort it out for yourselves? Either way, that's pretty early!

It was discussed chapter by chapter. And we watched the movie version after for good measure.

Same here. We read FFA, The Veldt, The Tell Tale Heart, All Summer in a Day, and a few other short stories in some "advanced readers class," that we had to go to the library once a week to attend.

I think they were trying to fuck up all the smart kids.
