[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the books well-written? That's really all that matters to me. If you feel as if the books don't reinforce your values, then have a discussion about that. In 6th grade, some of my favorite books were Green Mansions, Jane Eyre, The Story of Rèmy, and Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates. All of them dealt with dark & complex themes and that's what I liked about them.[/quote] I am with you on that, and this is my gripe. I don't think either book is well-written.and this is my main issue with them, not drugs snd condoms. [/quote] The people taking issue with drugs & condoms, instead of taking issue with the quality of the writing, are showing their skewed values. Drugs, condoms, alcoholic parents, poverty, and mental illness are facts of life. To think that 6th graders are unaware of these things, or unable to process them, underestimates the intelligence of 6th graders.[/quote]
