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

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.

Was making sure this had a mention. This was brutal to read in 6th grade at 10 in the morning.
