Actually this reminds of my English class,our teacher laughs at ANYTHING even remotely dirty...and we're reading Hamlet!
Today she read out the word unanel'd and didnt stop laughing for 5 minutes.Then someone reading misread stiffly for stiffy and she said ''I cant wait to tell the teachers in the staff room that one''.

LOL this thread shows that Irish prudishness is still very much alive and well.

What a prude.

Schools should have mandatory practicals as part of sex ed :pac:.

Hey, that's a good book. Got a bit sickening as I had it read 4 times before my class were half way through it though.

Hold on a second. If your able to have sex at 16 in the UK or 17 here why can you read about it in a book when you are 16 or 17?? I dont see any problem with it. Its only a book.

You're able to take a dump whenever you want, doesnt mean everyone should have to see it

But you should be able to read about it whenever you want!

"It's not fair that I have to read something that I'm totally against," she said. "If I have to drop out of IB, that's something I have to do. I'm not going to read the book."

For feck sake, american teens must be far too sheltered. We'd be delighted if we got to read that in english class. Murakami is a fairly acclaimed author from what I can recall, so why not teach something different.:D
