about swear words in my son's reading book?

[MM74]

My son is 7. His reading book from school contains the word 'bastard'. Am I being uptight, PFB and unreasonable if I complain?

I also don't see the stealth boast

Lots of people who are both anonymous and sharing similar experiences.

To be fair when I was seven I read books containing many uses of vulgar and coarse language, even cases of detailed (extremely detailed) sex and mutilation. I turned out fine, there is really no need to be so scared of everything your child may be being shown.

When you say reading book, is it the book he was specifically given by the teacher, or is it just a library book he chose himself? There's a bit of a difference.

Zombie thread.

Seriously, why do people resurrect these?

I really hope so, Flighty.
