Playing in Traffic by Gail Giles
This is the straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back book for me. I got this book off a recommended list from America's most prominent Middle School English teacher (whose books on teaching I like a lot). After reading this (and about 5 others off her list), I started this blog. So many of her recommended books were morally offensive. (I've surmised she's a fallen-away Catholic.)
She says parents rarely question the books she lets her students read.
Her parents must be:
A) too trusting
B) nutty
C) foolish
D) fooled
E) way-too-busy
F) moral relativists
G) some combination of the above
If I sat down to write the worst of trash-talk show theme titles, I think my top 4 would be covered in this book.
Maybe you parents (and only parents) should read it just so you won't think I'm Letter B.
