With online banking, this isn't necessary.If we are talking about an elementary school library, these books should not be available.
If we are talking about a high school, for most of the books I would have no problem. I don't believe there should be a training guide/book on how to commit gun violence or killing animals. Explicit sex? Is this part of sex education at the high school level or are you talking about porn?
It should be age appropriate.
Should parents have a say in books used by teachers? Yes
I don't want a teacher teaching my grandkids about killing animals or topics not age appropriate. Why can't we stick to math, science, gym, English, history, art and music?
A lot of these kids can't even balance a check book at the high school level, but we should concentrate on topics that will not help them get a job.
What is the average high school reading level?
A compilation of the top 40 books teens in grades 9-12 are reading in school shows that the average reading level of that list is 5.3 -- barely above the fifth grade. "A fifth-grade reading level is obviously not high enough for college-level reading.
Even though the students can't read, they can look at the pictures in the explicit sex books.
