Re: [LM_NET] Share: Not quite summer reading list-Humor

[Cheryl Youse <cyouse@GMAIL.COM>]

Couldn't resist sharing on this comment:  I did the same thing once and an
intrepid 8th grade boy wrote "Play*boy" (hopefully that will get through the
filters) and posted it.  A parent volunteer in the room at the time was
furious and demanded that I hold the class until someone confessed.  I told
her if a student did have a copy of that, it probably WAS his favorite
book.  I removed the title from the list and sent the class on their way
with a reminder that they should keep in mind what types of materials were
appropriate for school and for their age.  The parent complained to the
principal but fortunately, he backed me up.
