Re: The obsession over classic literature is kind of ridiculous, honestly

[(Anonymous)]

"the modern teaching of classic literature is butchering interested in reading, reading comprehension, and critical analysis in modern day students".

Fucking THIS. I recently overheard my niece say that she got a new book but refused to read it until summer break because otherwise it wouldn't count towards her total 'summer pages' assignment. So reading it now would have been a 'waste of time'. Kids are being taught that reading is work, something one does because one must, and that's *it*.

Welcome to reading. Read x chapters of this book in a certain amount of time and then do a report. If you're not lucky enough to have a family that models reading for pleasure - or, gasp, reads *to you* - so that you love it *before* you start school, the deck is stacked against you.

I remember in school, how some people used to think me and my friends were crazy for enjoying reading. If there were other things that we enjoyed that most students didn't, it was just different tastes, but if it was reading, then Something Was Up, because obviously no one reads just for fun. >.<

I will happily lambast the way modern English classes are a.) intended to impart critical analysis skills and b.) doing exactly the opposite of that, but perhaps even worse is the way they slowly kill any interest in reading whatsoever. Sometimes I'm almost convinced that the Powers That Be are doing this on purpose to make kids - and future citizens of society - easier to control by narrowing their perspective intake. @_@
