My school hasn't ever had any of these on the curriculum, but I’ve seen other lists with books that are still being read in high school English classes at my school, but others on different lists have been removed from the curriculum. I have personally only read TTYL on this list (and I’ve seen the Golden Compass movie), but the reasons they provide here for TTYL are all true about the book, but it’s a teen book, so it’s not like it’s a bad book for teens, it’s kind-of like our lives online.

I've read it to my children so many times I can probably recite it from memory! It is also a true story, which apparently rubs some people the wrong way.
