He has never had a book confiscated. His teacher was at a loss of what to do when she caught him not doing his Science reading. Her words "How do you punish a 2nd grader for reading a classic for fun?" I told her to treat it the same as if he was sneaking a read of a comic.
I was a little worried about public reading of the book series he is addicted to now "Xanath" by Piers Anthony (nymphs, cheeky titles and talk of the adult conspiracy) but his teacher is respectful of his books. He also understands that although, I loved the books as a kid and wanted to share them with him, He is reading a more adult book. Other parents may not want thier kids reading a book titled "The Color of Her Panties" be it totaly innocent or not. So he does not offer to share his Xanath books with friends but is able to still share his enjoyment of the series with his book response activities.
We are also very blessed in this area that the gifted program he started last year in 3rd grade is a class program not the pull out for an hour. His school (public school) has one each K-2, 3rd,4th and 5th grade classes that are all the GT kids.
