I nearly hit the downvote because I couldn't believe any teacher would tell you not to read Dahl to your kid. Maybe one teacher in a million? Even then I doubt it.
I have a lot of friends who are teachers and their advice is read ANYTHING you like to kids. So few parents bother that they threw the rule book out decades ago.
- sundvor 10y agoI know, right!? Sadly, it's a true story. I obviously can't give the full details, but my son was asked directly by this teacher, why are you reading Roald Dahl books? I couldn't believe it. A phone call to the principal followed.. On a side note, son just fell asleep (Australia) as I was reading another few pages of Danny and the Champion of the World to him - well maybe half an hour's worth. Quality time; it makes for such good night time reading. (Danny is a very brave boy!).
