Today in class, we started presenting our one-pagers. As we were presenting, Mr. Rease wanted us to focus on a specific sexual scene, which made me pretty angry. I am very appreciative of reading books with disturbing and controversial content. I love it, but there is a particular way they should be taught to educate students without making anyone uncomfortable. Personally, if I were the teacher and wanted to discuss this, I wouldn't have the students read explicit parts of the class and continuously ask for specific words to describe the content. Even though I am not the teacher, the class made me uncomfortable, and I wish everyone was mature enough to talk about the sexual content of a book without students feeling unsafe and uneasy.
