That's incredibly stupid of the teacher if that's the case. The stories are well written, delightful, fun, dark and children love them.

  Do you think any teacher would tell him off for reading a childs book to his child? I don't think so ;) someone is fishing for karma

    I didn't think so either; I was in fact completely flabbergasted to hear about it and we made a complaint to the principal.

    Many people become teachers who have no business doing so. My sister and I, as an example, entered elementary school able to read (perhaps at a 2nd grade level? I had no concept of reading levels until much later so I'm not sure). Her first teacher, fired shortly after this, kept telling my sister she was stupid, couldn't read, couldn't do math, etc. It took her a decade to recover. My point: On a forum with tens of thousands (more?) of users, nearly every permutation of awful or incompetent person will have been encountered by someone here.

    Yes, yes I would.
