    This is a gold mine! We are homeschooling again this year (4 kids) and I haven't had the time to sit down to read this book in order to keep up with my kids progress for discussions. Every few chapters they are following along with your read aloud. Thank you so much!

    You did an amazing job of reading this . Thank you for your time . ...It is now 2022 when I am writing this .....This book is on the list of banned books ...though it might be taken off. This was one of the first books I read in school that caught my interest and I read the whole book and. didn't put it down . I don't understand how this book ..the Bridge to Terabithia and 5 dr Suess books can be on that long list ...sometimes I feel we are moving into reverse instead of forward.... I was a second grade teacher for 30 years and now a children's book author ( The Krayon Kids series) I used to read Magic Tree House books to my students and they were hooked and started reading them as well....I certainly hope they are not on any list ....Thank. you sincerely for this ....your time is of great value .

    One of the most powerful things about this book for me is that I've actually BEEN to the Great Meadows. They're real and they still exist today. I live near there and have my whole life. Blackbird Pond either doesn't exist or dried up long ago though.

  • @8Carlstrom8

    Free college is a fallacy. 1. COLLEGE IS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS
    Contrary to popular belief, people succeed all the time without going to college. There are a number of famous college dropout success stories, and many dropouts now rank as some of the most successful men and women in the world. However, for many, simply being able to pay bills and enjoy economic stability is success enough.
    According to the Brookings Institute, you do not need a college degree to break out of permanent poverty. In fact, the left-leaning Institute’s guide to secure entry into the middle class includes just three simple steps: graduate from high school, get a job, and get married before having babies. According to their research, 75 percent of people who followed these rules now make over $50,000 a year.
    2. COLLEGE IS A RIGHT
    The promise of free college is much like the promise of free healthcare. The implied (and occasionally explicit) message is that higher education is a right. It isn’t. Attending college is a responsibility-one of the first young people encounter as they enter adulthood.
    Making college “free” would significantly diminish its transitional role, essentially making it an extension of high school. Students would have no monetary skin in the game, and responsibility and accountability would invariably decrease. Skipping class is common enough when parents are footing the bill. If the cost of college is punted to an unknown and unseen conglomeration of taxpayers, enrollment will skyrocket. Attendance will drop.
    3. COLLEGE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO AFFORD
    College is considerably more expensive than what previous generations have had to contend with. According to the College Board, the average cost of college tuition and fees for the 2017-2018 school year was was $34,740 at private colleges, $9,970 for state residents at public colleges, and $25,620 for out-of-state residents attending public universities.
    However, this obstacle is not impossible to overcome. A wide range of financial aid packages, grants, loans, and scholarship options have sprung up alongside the rising cost of college. Organizations like Questbridge, The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, and The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation are all dedicated to making college affordable-even free-for low- to moderate-income families.
    * * *
    The old saying goes “it’s rude to look a gift horse in the mouth,” and “free” anything always sounds good. However, many people making the case for mandating taxpayer-funded college willfully ignore reality. Beyond the fact that a college degree is not necessary for success, no one is entitled to higher education on someone else’s dime. This is especially true when there are copious foundations and organizations just clamoring to put hard-working students through school.
