Well we just came full circle. <<If you have a better way to do this, by all means talk to me.>> My position from the start was that the best way to develop students who are strong in Literature is to teach them the appreciation of Literature, the processes of literary development, the history of the literary arts, analysis of literary works, and ultimately teach them all to be Literary critics. I am confident that the local school boards will offer a curriculum that emphasises "Capital L literacy." When they don't they can count on battling with concerned community representatives such as your self. They do this by selecting representative works and encouraging extention beyond the classroom. Some of the great literary works of our history have been developed by religious scholars, yet your "That kind of stuff" list excludes them. So, I would give your students the same rating that you give others "an awful grasp of Literacy imo." I would go a step further and point out that your approach attempts to replace the principles that societies are founded on (as dirived from religious text) with what you are calling cultural anchor.
