Writing Superheroes: Fourteenth Post (Final Thoughts)
I have some serious issues with this book. I’m bothered that the researcher, Anne Haas Dyson, seemed to respect the kids’ choices of source material so little that she couldn’t even be bothered to learn much about it herself. What message does that send to the kids? What message does that send to the teachers who read this book and listen to Dyson’s research? I’m more than a little bothered by the implications.
