[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This must be a recent phenomenon, my kids graduated high school before 2020 and always read books as kids and had to do plenty of reading in public schools for honors, AP and IB classes.[/quote] I do think it’s recent. It’s definitely something that has come out of Covid when teachers couldn’t enforce reading, kids started cheating and taking short cuts. Schools looked the other way because teachers felt burnt out and overwhelmed. Since then, parents’ own expectations have dropped. If teachers and parents don’t care, kids certainly won’t care. That said, not all schools have dropped novels! Many still do. My kids attend public school and read 5-7 novels a year, all the typical ones…Macbeth, Julius Cesar, Catcher in the Rye, Moby Dick, Scarlet Letter, Grapes of Wrath, Walden, etc etc [/quote]
