I can remember taking LOTR into class when I was six and my teacher said that I couldn't possibly be reading it. When I replied that I was indeed partway through reading it, she demanded that I read a bit aloud to the class as punishment for lying...about 30 seconds after I started reading fluidly (I can even remember which bit - the part about the attack on Weathertop where Frodo gets stabbed) she told me to be quiet and sit down at my desk, wrote a letter to my father about it who found it very funny.
