在几个场景,中学及以上的小学生取笑,比如取笑一个男孩是他的年龄。

骂人是罕见,温和,如一个孩子叫另一个孩子“大脑袋”。References to people who "stink" come in the context of characters' learning about the challenges of people who live in shelters or on the street.

父母需要知道西蒙·b·Rhymin”是德维恩里德的第一部小说是芝加哥的一位小学老师。它遵循在里德的病毒视频的成功,“欢迎来到4年级。”The main character, Simon, is a Black fifth-grader who aspires to be a rapper. In the meantime, he's nervous and excited about his more immediate challenge, successfully completing a teacher's assignment to give a presentation about a meaningful cause. Mean language is infrequent and mild, such as one kid calling another kid "Big Head." References to people who "stink" come in the context of characters' learning about the challenges of people who live in shelters or on the street. There are a couple scenes of middle-school and older elementary school students teasing one another, such as making fun of a boy who's short for his age.
