My teacher won't let my class read Harry Potter because in her eyes it's "Murderous and Evil". Your thoughts?

Your teacher is entitled to her opinion - whatever that may be, however Ты may think of it. That's why I won't say anything bad about her.

If she banned it from the classroom, well, so be it. She's entitled to do so. But what prevents Ты from Чтение it once at Главная или outside the classroom/the school ? (in case it may have been banned from the school grounds too). Your teacher has no jurisdiction over what happens in your Главная или even outside the school grounds.

I say this as a teacher myself.

That's an excellent opportunity for Ты to Показать a bit of independence ! Ты read it, Ты like it, end of the story. Do Ты really need other people to make your own opinion about anything, be they your teacher или even ourselves here ? Just read the books/watch the Фильмы if Ты want to. Don't be afraid...

tell her to read it.

That's stupid last год I had a teacher who loved Harry Potter.It was her Избранное book to read to the class

Maybe Ты should ask her if she's ever read them. Because one of the things I've noticed about people who say that Harry Potter is satanic and evil is that they've never even bothered to read the books. They just see the cover and the plot summary and jump to the conclusion that it must promote witchcraft.

neglect ur teacher's comment!!!
itz really not like tht at all!!!!!

She won't let y'all read it in class или at home, too?

If it's in class, then it does sort of make sense because of the religious extremists who might be upset that their child is Чтение it. But the "murderous and evil" part? Most good literature has a bit of death in it, so if she's trying to Показать y'all good writing, then finding something without death is going to be hard. And the whole series is about fighting against evil and embracing love, so I don't know how she got the "evil" tag. But, then again, she may be one of those religious nuts. (I'm not saying that everyone who's religious is a nut, just those who see Harry Potter on the surface and think that the readers are worshiping Satan.)

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Even if Ты don't like HP I don't see how it fits either of these adjectives. :/

Well, personally the Книги have a great plot and moral, which I think teachers should encourage to read. Книги wouldn't bE fun without a little mix of Фэнтези and reality Which Harry potter DEFINITELY has.

Peppergirl, the world if filled with narrow-minded people. Narrow-mindedness = ignorance. It's wonderful when Ты can bring enlightenment, but when they are people in power, such as a teacher или boss, Ты learn to roll with it, keeping your own convictions true. Remember, someday you'll be the boss.

What do Ты mean "won't let the class read it"? Do Ты mean she won't let Ты bring the book into the classroom at all, или she won't make it a class assignment to read?

There's a big difference between the two.

If she won't let Ты bring the book into the classroom to read on your own, (as in, when Ты have free-time), then I would go to the principal или the school board.

If she just won't make it an assigned reading, then that makes sense. For starters (as VampiresRevenge pointed out), there's a lot of religious issues with the book. Her Комментарий about it being "evil" just highlights that. Also, English teachers (if she is an English teacher) can't just randomly decide to read a book series half-way through the год that wasn't on the syllabus to read. Especially not if the book wasn't on the approved Чтение list.

To bad for her bring it in anyways. She can't tell Ты what not to read she's not your mom. She should be estatic that Ты even want to read!

Read it anyway.

She is sick. How can Harry Potter be evil??

HARRY POTTER RULES DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

She's murderous and evil. Harry Potter is about a war, and how it really affects people. If Ты don't get kids ready for the trajedies of war, they will not be prepared. Death happens in life. Harry's parents were killed because they tried to save him. Now why is that wrong?

Sounds to me like this "teacher" needs an education.

If Ты haven't read a book или seen a movie, Ты have absolutely no freaking business critiquing it. If she hasn't read the books, her opinion of the saga is irrelivent.

LOL my teachers dont like Harry Potter too.they say if Ты read it Ты wont come back alive,last год my maths (we finished the book earley) teacher wouldnt let me do that,but i thout about the rules its not ilegle in your school,i told the teacher about it,she сказал(-а) Ты can bring it,but keep it away from me would you

my teacher is PERFECTLY FINE with the whole class Чтение harry potter. he even let me write: for journal writing, "My Time At Hogwarts" instead of "My holidays" and i get to read them to the whole class and they liked it :D

Unless Ты can prove that there is something truly bad (like, innapropriate content, language, etc.) teachers shouldn't be allowed to ban a book. But if she doesn't let Ты guys read it, just read it somewhere else, I guess.
