I don't know if that's Amber, if that's kind of what you were thinking of in that comment.

13:01Amber WeinstockGUEST
And I think one, one thing like just to kind of bounce off what you're saying is that when we're talking about age appropriate, like what does that mean? That can be a super subjective term.
A
13:12Amber WeinstockGUEST
So what might, you know, what one person might deem inappropriate might actually be what that student is needs to read or needs to hear.
A
13:21Amber WeinstockGUEST
Maybe they've been needing that story for a long time and maybe it kind of reflects their own experiences or, you know, ability to grapple with something through literature.
A
13:33Amber WeinstockGUEST
So, you know, in terms of appropriateness, I think it's really important for people who are throwing that term around to do the self-reflexive work to kind of check their own biases.
A
13:45Amber WeinstockGUEST
And so that can kind of get into a territory of like self-censorship, even like deeming something not appropriate for others.
