[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those parents who object -- email the school and ask for an alternative or suggest an alternative. We used to do that, routinely unfortunately -- mostly because the reading selections were so dark, violent and depressing, to a one. That's not what I wanted my children, who are forming their opinions of the world, to be digesting.[/quote] Isn't this what some parents on the forum call as indoctrination of students? What are the benefits of these topics at an early age of 10-12? Are there any disadvantages when the kids learn about these topics when they are 15 and 16? [/quote] Huh?[/quote] What exactly don’t you understand? Maybe I can help. The PP is asking why they need to force 11 year olds to read this book? What is the benefit of forcing 11 year olds to explore this topic versus waiting to discuss these topics later on, maybe in high school?[/quote]
