I get that, but I also feel like...whatever gets them to read, you know? I'd rather them read easy things and grow to love reading (because they can always discover the classics later), than be forced to read things they find boring, and decide ALL books are boring, and never get in the habit of reading at all. I've known way too many people who didn't really read until their 20s because they had to read things they disliked in school, and pretty much wrote off reading altogether as a result.

What it comes down to is there's just not a good one-size-fits-all approach and our education system mostly relies on pretending there is. Or at most a two-sizes-fit-all approach.

True.

Kind of sidenote, but that's why I'm so annoyed by all the OMG KIDS MUST GO BACK TO SCHOOL RIGHT NOW OR THEY ARE DOOMED TO FAILURE FOREVER!!!!! hysteria floating around at the moment. Sure, some kids do great in a traditional classroom environment, but others do much better with the at home/online model.

That's the theory, but like all things, it's a balance. In particular, I encountered this idea that boys only want to read books about boys (and anything else will turn the poor dearies off reading), and—well. Fiction helps create empathy, among other uses.
