<div dir="ltr">We allow 5th-8th graders to check it out in my K-8th school. The first year we had it, we did get push back from teachers (students were "showing it around") who felt that the book was too mature for 5th grade. However, all of that died down almost immediately. No parent has complained. I let my 5th grade son read it this year too. It is allowed in his school K-5th grade school. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 11:04 AM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Good morning, <div><br></div><div>Recently, I have had a parent turn in a Request for Reconsideration form for Drama by Raina Telgemier.
