I think that we should have the right to read any book that is presented to us. Books are a great past time no matter what the content. Well i was just writing to see what you think on the issue. Thanks for reading!<BR/>Surf's up<BR/>Jake KawakikiJakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039923603655727144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306869114559272603.post-45584503310609876792008-01-14T13:38:00.000-06:002008-01-14T13:38:00.000-06:00Dear Doris, Look, let's be real. You are a lu...Dear Doris, <BR/> Look, let's be real. You are a lunch lady. You don't have a whole lot of say over what books we can read. I don't know how upset that makes you. But you are a parent, and you had kids in high school once. Did you care if they read offensive literature? Did it make you uncomfortable or were you glad they got new perspectives and opened their mind to offensive issues? Would you have talked to administration or gotten heavily involved and tried to ban the books like PTSA? Would you have been mad if your child had a book banned from the curriculum because a parent thought it was wrong? Do you think times have changed since you and your kids were in school? Are parents more protective? Sorry this whole thing is questions, but it's legit. All you ever ask me are questions--- “want pears?” “want doubs pizza?” Now it's my turn!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Love you, see you tomorrow in alternative line!<BR/><BR/><BR/>B.

Personally, I love this book and even though there is much talk about sex/rape, drug and alcohal in it, I think this is ok for teens to read about because we face these things every day. I mean, come on were in highschool. As a lunch lady you may or may not have big feelings about this but what is your opinion On this talk about banning the books?<BR/><BR/>-hannah montana<BR/><BR/>p.s.

I think that all of the books are all appropriate for high school students. Although some of these books have violent or sexual themes, most of them can relate to themes many teenagers experience on a daily basis. I think that the books are essential in a high school students' education because they highlight themes that are happening throughout the world.knelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218642882686725615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306869114559272603.post-29507671574901980612008-01-07T13:38:00.000-06:002008-01-07T13:38:00.000-06:00Hi Doris, what's up?

Anyway I was looking at the PTSA note on the books that parents would like to be banned at school and I was just wondering your opinion? I think the books are completely legit for high schoolers to read. How can they want to ban To Kill A Mockingbird? It is one of the most innocent books I have read. I agree some of them are a little too violent and vulgar but as 18 year olds I believe that older students should be able to enjoy them. Seniors are about to go off to college, and into the real world. What's the harm in reading award winning books?Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688031314554335379noreply@blogger.com
