John O. (buzzby) - , reviewed on 7/6/2007 + 6062 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

There are lots of stories and poems that I'd love to read aloud to my 2nd grade classes, but I don't know how many I will be able to read with a straight face. EXAMPLE:

John was a bad boy, and beat a poor cat
Tom put a stone in a blind man's hat,
James was the boy who neglected his prayers,
They've all grown up ugly, and nobody cares.

Unless we had a discussion about the nature of beauty and ugliness first, this may be teaching them something else other than virtue.
