I am not as well read as a 10th grader, mostly because I have very different tastes in books. Actually, that's not true. I once said, "sometimes, just sometimes, grass is green," to a group of grade 10 students and they practically fell over laughing. They got the Great Gatsby reference immediately and we had an interesting discussion about symbolism in literature thereafter. (A discussion, incidentally, that would have been banned from a grade 10 English class for being so blasphemous.)
