[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The librarian at our elementary school says graphic novels are great for kids to read. I say let it go.[/quote] Librarians aren’t experts in education or parenting. They can tell you a book is popular but that’s it. And frankly, if a librarian tells me a book is popular with kids these days, I’m probably steering clear of it for my own kids.[/quote] Certified school librarians are teachers. They know far more about education and literacy than you do. They have expertise both in teaching reading and in book selection that will help develop a love of reading. And whether or not they are parents themselves, they know enough about bad parenting to know that a reflexive "if it's popular, it would be bad for my child" response is textbook lousy parenting.[/quote]
