Blog entry Nov. 5

The articles I read discussed the importance of listening to parents and other teachers, and also they stressed that teachers should stand up for books they believe deserve to be in the curriculum. There is still a huge gap of the how we come to a compromise; it is widley accepted that teachers and parents should agree on a book before assigning it, but the process of satisfying teacher and parent is more difficult. My research will ask teachers how they actually relate to the parents who want books restricted, the different methods of cummincation that real teachers actually use. By getting personal beliefs on censorship from teachers currently in the field of high school, I will get eyewitness accounts of how to discuss cenorship with parents and students.
