I think the teacher could have used a little more tact, reading the book aloud and forcing the kids to verbalize a word that is uncomfortable for most people might be over the edge.T5Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007172997925694510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911190321986188256.post-34956281909488516542007-05-08T10:14:00.000-04:002007-05-08T10:14:00.000-04:00I think that instead of taking the book out of the...I think that instead of taking the book out of the classroom why don't they pause and teach the kids what the word _____ is all about and why it's not appropriate and why it was used when the book was written. Educate, make people aware of what is going on and what has gone on in our nation's past.Jenn Ruggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814250985443921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911190321986188256.post-9607489206306493042007-05-08T08:12:00.000-04:002007-05-08T08:12:00.000-04:00To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite book as well ...To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite book as well ~ I plan on rereading it over my summer break. <BR/><BR/>Teachers have LONG been engaged in the battle between sharing this masterpiece and fighting against its censorship. I think those that want to ban the book have, in actuality, never read the entire text. Taken within the context of the times, geographical location, and story itself, the use of "that word" is totally understandable. <BR/><BR/>I find it interesting and IRONIC how "that word" is now so commonly used in rap songs and as a label of brotherhood among some members of our society.jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115130420829796087noreply@blogger.com
