I've been a certified teacher for over 30 years, including being the founder of a progressive middle & high school in Seattle (in 1994).

Each student should acquire their own copy of the book Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes, readily available.
Flowers for Algernon is on the American Library Association's list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–1999 at number 43. The reasons for the challenges vary, but usually center on those parts of the novel in which the main character struggles to understand and express his sexual desires. Many of the challenges have proved unsuccessful, but the book has occasionally been removed from school libraries.
