It sounds like you had some difficulty with book reports and your teachers didn't offer you enough support. Do you only have an early elementary child? By 4th grade, children are blogging about their books regularly. If they've had no experience writing about books prior, they cannot do tasks like these. There are a lot of necessary evils in school. A good teacher helps children get over their humps and works with them to enjoy school tasks.[/quote]

I am the PP you are responding to. I have no problems with book reports, books, reading, or writing. I just don't want to write a book report after I have read the book. There are many people like me -- although, as you point out, there are also some people who love writing book reports. They can grow up and become book reviewers and get paid for it, and I will be grateful, because I like reading good book reviews.

My children are in upper elementary school and in middle school, they are very enthusiastic readers, and they also think that a book report takes all of the joy out of reading that book. Maybe they got that idea from me and otherwise would adore doing book reports, who knows.[/quote]
