[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dcs go to a good public high school in the south. Ds has not had to read a book since middle school. Dd has had one book to read for AP English Lit so far, that's it.[/quote] [b]Have you ever heard of the library? [/b]My children read books outside of school. Writing is a whole different matter - I don't know how to get them to write essays as an extracurricular :D[/quote] The snark was not needed. I was speaking about school reading and not what we do at home. I took my kids to the library from babyhood, read to them constantly, then dh read all of Harry Potter, all of Lord of the Rings to them when they got older. My dd reads a lot outside of school, including classics. Ds is just not interested at all, and at 17yo I do not have the power to enforce reading.[/quote]
