[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as my kids read, I’m fine with their reading just about anything.  And 6th graders already know about condoms, drugs and drinks. They have access to TV, the internet and they talk.[/quote]

Well, yes, but this is a pretty lazy goal for the education of your children.  Literature is meant to inspire, expose people to beautiful words and new ideas, etc.  Schools of education now think that kids need to "relate" to everything.  No, kids have been imagining themselves in other worlds and times for several centuries through literature.  Why not choose books that elevate rather than degrade.  And "just reading anything" is a pretty low standard.  [/quote]

Degrade?

Clearly all of this is lacking in your kids life if you have sheltered him from it, I’m glad the schools are helping kids like yours be less sheltered so they are not afraid of their own shadow.[/quote]

Yes, condoms, drug dealers and drunk fathers are thankfully lacking in my chid's life. Sorry for yours they are the main feature of your household (assuming a father is even present int he home). I don't need you or MCPS deciding what my child is exposed to. Take your liberal crap and shove it. [/quote]

NP. Whoa Karen — calm down! [/quote]

No, Karla, you calm down and shove it also.[/quote]

Are you off your meds?[/quote]

I'm not on meds, unlike you.[/quote]
