The Other Side of Tomorrow
This is a small anthology from the early 70s. It probably qualifies as YA. Dated but not terrible.
The Oxford Book of Science Fiction Stories.
I'm about 85% of the way through with this one. Nothing I'd recommend so far.
I used to think that there were a lot of great sci-fi short stories out there and that I'd find them if I just kept searching. I no longer believe that. Once you get past the genuine classics, the good to garbage ratio is probably less than 4 in 100. And you might find 1 really good story out of 150. Unless you can find a writer that you really like you might as well stick to pulp; at least that stuff isn't boring.
