Re: Thank you for caring so much that kids enjoy reading

Gosh, how frustrating for you and demoralizing for the students
subjected to this teacher. Years ago (many!) I would check Nancy Drew
and similar books I loved to read out of the public library. The
librarian made a point of sneering at the books and at me for liking
them. "Why don't you read any good books?" she would ask. My mother
was a single parent who had dropped out of high school. Her first
language was not English. I knew nothing about formal education. I
felt consigned to some sub par world where I would live a limited
life because of my taste in books. I was only 8. Luckily she did not
refuse to let me have the books. Thank you for caring to do something
for the unlucky students of this "teacher."
