Write about your first impression of what you've read so far in What Johnny Shouldn't Read. Are you surprised, shocked, horrified, intrigued, disgusted, or some other adjective, by it?
So far, I'm basically disgusted with how ridiculous these parents are. They are isolating thier kids from thier peers, and depriving them of valuable instruction time. By having them read separate material from the rest of the class, they are having their kids "teach themselves", if that. I would hate to be a teacher for one of these kids, and I'm definetely not looking forward to the situations I will be in with parents like this in the future. It puts extra stress on the teachers to be constantly worrying about what they can and can't subject these few kids to. Ridiculous. I would say the parents should just pull them out of school and homeschool them, but they would just brainwash their kids too much, and it would be more damaging to our society in the long run.
