[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is great. [b]Think about what this is teaching you girls (and boys) about relationships. [/b]Adolescents do not have fully matured.... anything!

I would never choose to read this crap- ever. Why would I want my child to read it.

I agree.

And frankly, given the fact that many kids are being raised in a single parent home (or sometimes not even that) and without proper family values, I think there's real value in doing the total opposite and going back to classical literature with strong family values so that all kids have the chance to understand what a family is supposed to look and feel like, and how relationships are supposed to work. Assigned reading in class is the only chance that a lot of kids in this country would get to have awareness of real family and relationship values. It's appalling that we're taking that away from them.[/quote]

Classical literature like Hamlet, Heart of Darkness, The Yellow Wallpaper?  (All “classics” I read in school for the record.)  Definitely some great family and social values to be learned from those…[/quote]
