Hi Sup Forums. 50-year-oldfag here. Are they still teaching this book in high school? Or are school administrators too dumb to figure out why it's necessary?

I'm 34 and I have no idea what you're talking about. Isn't that the book that inspired Apple to become the shity company that it is?

highschool senior fag here, it was dropped in favor of "night" by ellie wiesel. go figure.

Hi faggot. 26-year-oldfag here. They never taught it, never will and you poopsmoke too much butthash so it's either you simmer down or imma have to lynch your nigger ass so your moves and choose wisely you filthy niggershart jewdick

they did when i was in school around 2011/2012 idk about now tho

is this the new pasta

Fuckin A there Sup Forumstard, Amerika is already 90% living in a "1984 World".

why's it so necessary mr almighty oldfag?

i guarantee your country is even worse

Schools no longer do, at least since '10. But most students read it anyway, because of memes and content

Don't care for your points, but wasn't the US removing NN two days ago?

Read it and you'll see.

28 year old reporting. AP got 1984 and Farenheight 451. The knuckle draggers got Animal Farm.

I read it in 2010-11 for senior year. It was easily the best book and only book I actually read all the way through.

haha nope AmeriKKKa is shit now idi nahui

I have. Whats so special about it

Yes, I had to read it my junior year. Some of the kids I tutor are having to read it now. Very lucrative reading experience, alongside Brave New World.

451 and animal farm were standard. I read 1984 on my own, but frankly, its more of a romance novel to me now. Nothing Orwell wrote was that earth shattering if youve read any political theory.

Freshman collegefag here, my graduating class read it in 9th grade but I think they switched to a different book after my year

'twas taught when I graduated school in 2012. I see a few copies laying around the middle school where I teach currently

Class of 2015 here, no, they replaced it with Elie Wiesels jew propoganda

Yes.

/r/iamverysmart

nobody is gonna question how a 50 years old fag is in 4 chan, in Sup Forums? Are you one of those ancient computer geeks?

DUDE CONSPIRACY LMAO

I read it in school

I read it but only because I took Popular Literature. English/Honors English never read it

Is that the standard now? Now that I remember, i think that's what the high schoolers at my old school are reading now instead of 1984

Hope not. Its painfully unfunny.

Read it when I was in hs. 23 now.

OP here. Not computer geek. I'm on Sup Forums because it's one of the only places left where people are allowed to be funny.

average age of the typical 4channer is 45

yeah are you captain crunch? the guy that used to hack phone operator lines with a penny whistle?

They dont even really offer Animal Farm, much less 1984. Sorry my generation is a bunch of socialistic nazis.

What do they teach now?

no words

spotted the liberal

reality check for you, son. 68 years old here and find Sup Forums inspiring, stupid, disgusting and occasionally even amusing....just wait for it.

Would call you a leddit fag but what you said is true

-communist manifesto
-karl marx
-the triumph of the new peoples republic or north korea
-50 shades of grey

im not american пидap

How old is your wife's grandson at this point?

those things don't match up but good effort

I have russian keyboard too, edgelord
вaтшгeв

пидap mean faggot idiot

идиoт oзнaчaeт мyдaк, кoтopый ты зaдepживaeшь

Yeah they do, pretty commonly as its a relatively easy read, Our class enjoyed it as a good starting point for future books

See? Funny!

Wasn't meant to be copyspaghetti nor was it meant to be funny ya hypersensitive soyboys
Suck some more fat big black nigger dick

it does

Ok i'll take the bait.
Because it's great. Because it shows what power is all about. How it gets used and why people abuse it. Because it shows why socialism is repressive, and how rrepression can happen anywhere. Because it shows how if power can control language, then it can control people's thoughts. Teacherfags help me out here.

thats exactly what i was looking for. Fuck off capitalist pig, kill yourself and take your book down to hell or whatever you believe in with you.

Hook, line, and sinker

doesnt mean you're not a liberal you пидap

I a different 34 year old and we read that in HS.

eat the biggest dick. I don't bait. Socialism shall prevail

I can confirm over here in Canada we had it in high school

Yeah like that. Both sides do it.

Lord of the Flies.

Lord of the flies

Yeah they teaching that shit in my school

dont patronize me old gezzer, 31 years old and lurking Sup Forums since 2010. Yes, Sup Forums has been, and still is, some of the most amusing and interesting places in the internet, but I find really amazing that you dusty old bones full of green dust can shitpost without medical asistance.

See? Funny!

Shit i had to read it in 1997 i can barely remember.

When Simon talks to the pig's head and it tell him how much fun we're going to have on this island.
You liked that best.

Naw but Animal Farm is still a thing

Just graduated hs in may and they taught brave new world in my class but other classes read this it depended on the teacher

We're not living in Orwell's "1984"
We're living in Huxley's "Brave New World"

>What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that our fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that our desire will ruin us.

Going to reread Huxley now.

no theyve decided to implement its key ideas instead of teach them

What words have the Dems officially banned from use in scholarly research papers?

18-year-old-senior-fag here. My school never taught it, but im in drama club, and we're doing the stage version this year. I'm Winston

I'm 28 and we had class reading of Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451... But, I'm going to but I am going to get audiobook of 1984 now. Thanks!

Certain phrases like "Hitler did nothing wrong."

only my 11/12th (current year, 18) english teacher talked about it.

Yeah that's certainly not banned.

Graduated eight years ago:

Nope

Yeah. I'm sure every kid in high school on this site is magically 18.

I'm 22. My english teacher was a bro and had us read this as part of the curriculum. Everyone was too stupid to have an intelligent discussion about it. Sorry i'm a bit drunk

They made me read this about 3 times in 3 different grades(10 11 12). Which was fine by me as I had already read it in 9th grade on my own. I'm I. 12th rn btw

Do you want them to be 18?

I want them to be honest. If they are underage, I want them off this site. I want them dead.

Is this considered loli? It says she's thousands of years old sexxam.com

Does this answer your question?

Good luck. How are they going to do the torture scenes?

I'm 30 and read this out of highschool. Yeah shit has changed dude.

very recently 18 here
yeah, they do. Read it last year; wonderful book.

Its Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" now

Well you're gonna have to go to another site if you want this to truley happen. That or go on a killing spree of all teenagers.
