Teacher Response to Superhero Play: To Ban or Not To Ban.
Boyd, Brenda J.
Childhood Education, v74 n1 p23-28 Fall 1997
Suggests that banning superhero play is not most effective means of dealing with children's exposure to inappropriate television. Maintains that valid data on possible increases in classroom superhero play are not available, superhero play may fulfill some developmental functions, and superhero play may provide an opportunity to teach about values and living in a democratic social group.
