I'm surprised no one from TL Go has suggested Hikaru no Go (EDIT: especially since micronesia has already posted in this thread).

No violence, age appropriate, is a coming-of-age story that sort of fits in around the 6th-7th grade age, and is decently written. It's a bit on the long side, though.

I support Yotsuba and Hikaru no Go. Both are pretty good and meet your criteria pretty well I think, although relating Hikaru may be a tad more difficult than Yotsuba.

xxxholic or Tsubasa chronicles I think would be the best fits.

They do have fighting and the like, but its very toned down, and have alot of underlying themes to them that you could possibly discuss.

Hikaru No Go is just awesome i like the show as well for some reason.
Firebathero is still the best!

Chill. It's obvious this teacher is trying to come up with something new/creative in school and such condescending and foolish comments like that are not appreciated.

Dude they aren't gonna read books outside of school these days so why make them read what they are likely to read outside of school?

So in education according to Pyrrhuloxia:

English class is for reading books. Every day students read books. Creative activities that assist in the pursuit of language arts improvement without using books are not allowed to be explored because students never read books anymore.

Your viewpoint is very flawed for so many reasons I don't even want to get into it...

If you are not so much saying 'books only' as you are saying 'why manga' then that's a different issue.

I recommend Liar Game, but I'm not sure if its too dark or not(no blood, gore or violence but is people deceiving other people). It provides a very nice look at physcological issues with human nature. Note that the manga is not finished, incase this is a problem.

I will also agree with Hikaru no Go. The anime was excellent and as far as I can tell, definitely fulfills your requirements.

Another I would recommend is Nodame Cantabile. Very popular drama manga about following one's dream in music. It is light hearted and I don't believe there was much (if any) sexual content.

Hikaru no Go is good, but Prince of Tennis is a lot better. But then.. Liar Game owns both of them, if you don't mind a manga that's still going on.

But then Liar game has a homosexual person in it. I'm not against it but might not be appropriate for the kids.

Planetes by Makoto Yukimura. short, only 4 volumes, well written. A little terrorism and explosions though (but 6th grade? come onnnn.)

I'm not sure how big Hikaru no go would be since Go is probably foreign to pretty much all American kids. Plus it's pretty long, but I guess kind of cyclic :u

School rumble, obviously. With references to school and growing up, and bloody hilarious.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_Rumble

Have a looksee and think about whether it falls into your plans. Naruto and Bleach are good...at the start. Utter crap because the people just keep getting stronger and stronger, I totally stopped updating myself on them.

? there is totally violence. Also Ash is always lookin' at Misty's goods and I'm pretty sure he gets propositioned by Gary's sister in the first issue (manga is better than the anime lol ) so there was sexual content fo sho.
