Who Should Decide What Students Read?

As I write another article on choosing what to read, I came across an Education Week, November 2009 article I wrote "Who Should Decide What Students Read." 

An awesome and onerous task, guiding students in their reading is such a delicate and important responsibility for parents and teachers. Likewise, if we as adults hope to have our students read, we have to be equally as vigilant in our reading habits and choices.
