If your child attends an elementary school, who in their right mind would allow books on a reading list that contains subjects that most children aren't mature enough to understand? That makes no sense to me.

At that level of education, the student should first of all learn how to read and write before the knowledge of the World can be absorbed and understood in a meaningful manner. Further, the student's educational experience should also include subjects that encourage the student to learn more about the subject in question.

As a matter of fact, the teacher should make those subjects as interesting as possible and fully explain why each subject is necessary for the student's education and future well being. As such, each teacher should talk to the parents of each of their students, in order to determine each of their student's areas of interest, and use that interest to teach the subject in question, as they relate to those areas of student interest.

Then again, books containing adult subjects should be excluded from any and every school reading list. You see, the public library is available for the use of any person to use and enjoy. If a young person wants to know more about a particular subject, that person can certainly go to the library and usually find whatever that person wants to read.
