I didn't think much about this at first... but...

The other day, I got an email from Big Miss's English teacher last week.

I saw where she said kids wouldn't get credit for books they read if a movie did that book exists.

At first, I thought good, Big Miss will be forced to explore new books...

Then talking to her about it today, she pointed out that none of the Jane Austin books would count.

After that I realized that none of these other classics would work either.

What about:

• 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
• Treasure Island
• Wuthering Heights
• Jane Eyre
• Of Mice and Men
• etc...

 So WTF?

Why would a teacher do that?

That's way too broad of a policy.

I understand why this was done, because they're making movies almost as fast as the author can write them.

There are kids out there who probably cheat and that's why.

I don't know.

I'm pissed about this.

I'm still trying to decide on talking to Ellie before I call the school tomorrow and talk to the principal.

I don't trust the teacher right now.

Also, I want to find out WTF this came from..

• School?
• District?
• Teacher?
