    Huckleberry Finn is now censored for school curriculum use
  • Kirstin Melaas on 06 Jan 11
     
    I listened on MPR's morning show when the Prof. who did this was on to discuss. I admit that I think it is not necessary to sanitize the language- while I understood the teacher who called in to say it would be nice to teach the book without addressing the "N" word, I think that addressing it is part of what the book has to teach. I'm curious if you caught any of that on MPR?

    I think it is so dumb to censor Huckleberry Finn. The book is a great read and a good look at how some people thought in those days. Might help us understand our history. Teachers can explain the background for students. I read something about this in the NY Times. Thanks for the post Nathan. I think this is an important topic for us to be thinking about.

    I use this site a lot for creating worksheets for the ASD students I work with. The site is very easy to use and lets you personalize the types of problems and categories you want on the worksheets.

    This books has many books available for a variety of ages. You can actually read the books online (great for smartboards) and then once you read the book, you can select a charity to donate a book. For the every book you read off the website, a book is donated to the charity of your choice.

    One of the biggest obstacles to success in an online program is online distractions and multi-tasking to your own detriment. Here are some online tools to help you work on your "focus" if that seems to be an issue for you.

    We celebrated the sale of our home this summer with an 11,000 foot leap out of an airplane. A truly memorable experience!

    My husband and I have talked about doing this at some point in our lives. It makes me nervous just looking at the pictures! Maybe...

    I went skydiving before for a fund raiser. I thought it as great. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I was nervous for a while but the hardest part is actually leaping out of the plane!

      I read this as a child and I loved it. I never thought of this as a "bully" book.
    • Amy Zimmermann

      I never did either but now that I think about the book, it really does show bullying behavior of making fun of the "duckling" and leaving him out. I just covered bullying again with one of my groups. Would you believe that all 15 girls have been bullied?

      I would love to read this again. Our daughter was a victim of bullying last year, it was miserable! It makes me mad as a parent but also very sad for the one who is doing the bullying. An eye opening experience.

      I love this book. My children love the Berenstain Bairs. It's great to see a fictional character go through these situations so they know how to handle it if it happens to them.

    I need to bulk up my library! This is a topic that needs to be discussed in schools on a regular basis to keep the topic fresh in their minds.
