[aisle] Teacher Request

[Karrie Fisher]

I agree with Christine.  I've read *I Am The Cheese*, and my take away was
that it was very thought provoking.  Great discussions could come from
reading this book.  Christine is correct -- maybe the teacher has a solid
unit that goes with it.

If teachers ask me for my opinions about books, I happily offer them.  If
they don't ask me, it's not my place to comment.  I worked in a public
library for 20 years -- we would never warn a patron about a book, unless
they asked.

Food for thought: Is this a form of censorship?


Happily Ever After,
