What are your thoughts on reading logs? Anyone still using them? Anyone recently ditch them?

I used them in a non-traditional way one year. My students set reading growth goals and action steps to meet those goals, then I gave them the option to use reading logs to track if they were actually following action steps if they said they were going to spend time reading each day.

It just doesn't make sense to me to force kids to do them as homework.

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?
