Very good point. I always hated reading throught elementary school up until late high school. I was reading a book in high school for homework and thinking that I prefer it much more than any other homework. I finally started to actually ENJOY reading.Bucklion said:Does anyone else think that the way that some grade school English classes are turns people off to literature? I'm NOT making excuses for anyone, believe me, but I think a lot of people get negative connotations with books when they have to write a lot of long-winded and in-depth essays about them. Again, not making excuses for people not reading, just stating my observations, but what I've noticed are students saying things like "Thank God I don't have to take English anymore...no more stupid essays about books!" Of course, it's hard to have tests about books without essays, so I'm not suggesting they are wrong, but I do think it has a negative impact on people...along with the "now now now" culture of immediate visual imagry, of course.
