<div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto">That is exactly why I asked for feedback. 🙂 I don't normally interject my opinion on book requests, as I assume that teachers have intention and professional knowledge behind their plans. I do not wish to censor their choices.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">As much as we don't like to sensor, we also make professional judgements about quality and content appropriateness based on the audience when selecting materials- which is what this is. I use my professional judgement to place books in buildings for a reason. I have valid reasons I would not place this book in a fifth grade library. When I am asked to move a book to a place I would not normally place it, I do get to share my professional, educated opinion. Should the teacher choose to not take my advice and get the book elsewhere, that is her right and I would not take any further action/comment. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Turns out, previous posters were also correct...the teacher remembers reading the book when younger (older teacher) and liking it. At this time, it sounds like that is all he is going on for selecting it as a read aloud. I will do my job in readers advisory and get more information and make suggestions as needed to this teacher.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the feedback and discussion!</div><div>Sara</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 3, 2021, 1:06 PM Jessie Nicoson via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Completely agree with you, Christine.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#000000" face="georgia, serif">Mrs. Yesenia (Jessie) Nicoson</font><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#000000" face="georgia, serif">BJHS, IMC</font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="georgia, serif"><a href="mailto:nicosonj@district87.org" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">nicosonj@district87.org</a></font></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#000000" face="georgia, serif">309.827.0086, ext. 1893</font></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 3, 2021 at 1:04 PM Christine Wilson via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif">Is it really our place to decide what a teacher can and cannot read aloud in the classroom?
