Yes, I agree that teachers might be kinder in their assessment of what the future holds for students who do things in different ways! The book is worth a read if you can get to it!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-71304877295275957732021-10-04T23:07:06.619-06:002021-10-04T23:07:06.619-06:00I wasn't even aware of this book.

This book sounds like such a powerful read—I can imagine there would be a lot to learn about censorship. I can't believe anyone would try to censor a book for "improper English"—good grief. And wow, Dav Pilkey's teacher was comically wrong—but that is still literally so horrible that anyone would say that to a child. Why do some people become teachers, I wonder. Anyway, thank you for the thoughtful and thought-provoking review, Linda!Max @ Completely Full Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466405075405012116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-26161652583683342642021-10-04T19:53:06.630-06:002021-10-04T19:53:06.630-06:00I hope you really enjoy this book, Shaye.

I so enjoy hearing successful authors' past experiences. I checked just to see if I might be lucky enough for it to be on Overdrive (they're often quick to get new books), but not yet. And I somehow skipped right over Banned Books Week, this year. I am not teaching Children's Lit this semester, so that's probably why (we make a big deal of it in that class). Thanks for sharing, Linda, and I'm glad to hear your laptop is back in working order!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-42649789764386839462021-10-04T07:16:11.332-06:002021-10-04T07:16:11.332-06:00Oh no, that teacher that tore up Dav Pilkey's ...Oh no, that teacher that tore up Dav Pilkey's work! It reminds me of a story my husband tells of a guy he grew up with. The kid was always drawing cars in class, and a teacher told him, "You'll never make a living doing that!" He grew up to design cars for Mitsubishi, making a good living doing exactly that! We teachers have to be more careful what we say... So glad your laptop is working better and that you're back posting! Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463332371535167975noreply@blogger.com
