[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally appropriate. My third grader knows about Malala, and knows she stood up for girls' right to an education and was hurt in the process by someone with a gun. Are you worried that your kids are so fragile that they can't hear this without becoming traumatized? You should have more faith in your kid.[/quote] It has nothing to do with faith in them. Human beings become traumatized and desensitized by exposure to violence, especially at a young age. Do you think being traumatized is a sign of lack of character or something?[/quote] You sound sort of hysterical about this reading assignment. Are you really saying that you think your child is such a fragile snowflake that they can’t handle reading a book that tons of other kids their age have with no ill effects ? There is nothing stigmatising about being traumatised by actual traumas—reading a book like this would not qualify as a trauma.[/quote]
