Hi all, Just now getting a chance to send a hit on all of your wonderful responses to my question: We would appreciate your input. Our students have requested the "manga-style" graphic books. We've taken a look at them and are concerned with inappropriate language and the suggestive nature of the graphics/text. What is your school policy and how do you feel about these books? These are students who may not engage in a lot of reading - we'd love to see them read - but are concerned about the content - which also means how we would justify our decision. The reviews are mixed. And the answers: The books are highly popular throughout the LM_NET listserv area. The kids love the books! Check the books by hand, and use reliable book review resources as well. I know this is basic, if you would like more info. please feel free to email me. I can tell you that we don't bother to put the books in the book cart - they are checked out as soon as they are returned. I see students in here that I've not seen in the past - and these students talk to us about other books, as well. They are communicating and reading - and it is wonderful. Thanks again, Brenda Jacobs Flagler Palm Coast High School Bunnell, Fl 32110 386-446-6051 jacobsb12@flagler.k12.fl.us -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
