This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C04A60.1B812C20 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" "Growing Up" by Russell Baker was on the summer reading list for honors English students. One of the kids wrote that her mother was offended by the book and wouldn't let her read it. Students submitted comments anonymously, so the teacher can't question the student as to what the parent found offensive. The teacher had read the book a year or so before putting it on the reading list and doesn't remember anything questionable. Even though this is book is not being formally challenged, can anyone who has read the book comment about what might have been the problem or lend some insight? Please respond to me personally. I apologize about the mime format. I have tried to fix the problem many times and the solution is not obvious. Cheryl B.
