Check out the pic of the reading passage that was a lesson plan for 8th graders. It's a little sexy. Is in inappropriate for 8th graders? What about high school? PS: I think it's by Maya Angelou. --- You're never ever fully dressed without a smile! ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's probably too much to spring on some kids that age without warning, or without notifying parents ahead of time so they can review the text.

But I would have no problem with my 8th grade daughter reading it, because I am not an out-of-touch conservative prude. --- Currently playing: Armored Core VI ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, a bit too much. It's an exert from Maya Angelou's book 'Gather Together In My Name'. It's typically recommended for college age adults, rather than preteens.
But it was caught before it ever made it to the students, so no biggie? --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 | i9-10900K | EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra | 32GB DDR4 3600 | 4TB SSD ... Copied to Clipboard!

Definitely ok for High School, probably ok for 8th grade. You're 13/14 by 8th grade, kids are already going through puberty by then.

Yeah, probably. Everyone has different levels of what they expose their children to, or how they expose it to them, so I see no issue with at least letting the children and parents know beforehand that it's in the lesson plan. For example, in my school district, if there's something that could be deemed controversial or "triggering", we get a letter home before the lesson starts letting parents know what will be read, and that the text is available for them to review. I know for a fact that's what happened when my son had to read "Of Mice and Men" in 8th grade. and the same with the Diary of Anne Frank, because they had the children read the "uncensored" version. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ...

These are 13/14 year olds who see and hear a lot worse even if parents protect them.Oh, definitely. I wouldn't have had a reservation about letting either of my kids read that when they were in 8th grade (they're in 10th and 12th now). We did our best to not shield them too much from most things, while still being able to explain to them that there is a time and place for certain topics. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ...

As an adult, it feels too strong for kids of that age. As a kid, I was reading much worse at a much earlier age.

Some words have been blurred due to the graphic nature of the topic (Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.) If you feel the need to censor a book passage for news reporting read by grown-ass adults, maybe it really is inappropriate for 8th-graders. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As a kid, I was reading much worse at a much earlier age.Yeah, I remember discovering porn at age 11, but as far as school went, we didn't cover books like this until 10th grade and up. Which is why I voted that it's a bit much. This book takes place directly after 'I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings' which for me, was a book we covered in 10th grade. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 | i9-10900K | EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra | 32GB DDR4 3600 | 4TB SSD ...

I just skimmed it. I feel like I read more scandoilis material than this by 8th grade.
We read a book called Killing Mr Griffin in 8th grade. A novel about killing a teacher. I went to a small rural school in a conservative area too. This was in the 90s. --- You know how fads are.
