This is bad pedagogy and worse librarianship

Oof.

We have teachers bring middle schoolers over to the public library in the morning and I hear this at least twice a week.

All books are nutritious! It’s ok to enjoy things! And there are things that are good for us that are also enjoyable! Also they are ELEVEN they have time before the SATs!

A librarian did this?!?!

Sadly librarians have a long history of putting comics down (including helping keep them off the shelves altogether)

I have a friend who did something similar when he worked in a school library. He thankfully no longer works in a school library.

😠 I thought we were past this type of prejudice against comics.

Wait wait wait....there are good lessons in The Bad Guys! Eggs wheat milk -- that's nutrition!
(The whole thing is repugnant, including tBG in the list is even grosser)

Gross. I had to get on a parent advisory council at my kids' first school to make the librarian change the language they were using. (One "fun" book 🙄)

Gross.
