Book Review: Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano
I got the book for free from blogging for books. I actually didn't know much about this book before I picked it. I thought it was a very interesting look at how violent media can effect children. It gives a lot of points on why if effects children and gives ideas on how to approach it in your household. As an educator it also brought up a couple things I need to take into account when assigning students homework that require internet use. I did appreciate that the authors drew on multiple studies and had various sources. This is something that has come up in conversation before and the book brings up a lot of common sense topics. Which leaves us to wonder why we are allowing such violent media free range in our households and society. This book has made me interested on reading more on this topics from both points of view to see the differences and evidence they pull. I would highly recommend this book for parents to check out. It brings up some valid points that we need to consider and look at for our children's sake.
