[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My DS (age 10, 5th grade) says one of his classmates is reading Stephen King's "It". [b]I would not let him read that if he wanted to. [/b]Totally inappropriate. As well as not being desirable for him to read it, it is not [i]necessary [/i]for him to read it in order to develop "independent thinking".[/quote] How would you stop him? Monitor him at the library? Call the parents before playdates to make sure they don't have the book? I was a pretty rule-following 10-year-old, and the first thing I would have done, had somebody told me that I'm not allowed to read [whatever book], was run out and found a way to read it. You should save that for the books you [i]do[/i] want him to read. :) [/quote]
