Swearing in year 3 reading book

[babyin2020]

My 7 year old in year 3 came home today with a new book for reading at home he opened the book and handed it to me. The first line of the book opens with swearing. Do you think this is appropriate?

What’s the book and what’s the line?

What exactly did it say?

What's the swear word?

What book and what swearing?

Depends what the word is - my swearing is not necessarily yours. Hell is fine, cunt less so

What did it actually say.

Go on .... what is it?

??? Need more info before I can even begin to believe this! Screenshot please!

I mean photo...

Let me guess: “The sweat wis lashing oafay Sick Boy; he wis trembling. Ah wis jist sitting thair, focusing oan the telly, tryin no tae notice the cunt. He wis bringing me doon.”

Come on then, what's the word?

What was the word?

I cannot believe that a school reading book has a swear word in it. You have to take a proof the page. If it does, send it back with a note saying it's not appropriate for your child

Depends on the word. Cunt = inappropriate. Arse = fine.

I call stealth boast and you’re getting ready to tell us although he’s in year 3 he has a reading age of 65 and the book reflected that.

Dammit @Michaelbaubles beat me to it!

Arse would not be fine IMO!!

There's a y3 guided reading book about Dick Whittington.

Well I'd hazard a guess that its nothing too terrible or you'd have included the actual text and the name of the book in your opening post.

@SocialBees

Arse would not be fine IMO!!

Arse would be fine for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here for the reveal

We're waiting OP!

When DS2 was a bit younger than that he refused to read or watch anything that said "oh my God" because he considered it swearing.

Whats the word in the book?

@Michaelbaubles 👍😁

Dick Whittington 🤣
