I think the problem is the types of books that they usually assign kids to read. I always loved reading book but back in school even I didn’t enjoy the stuff that they assigned us. Analyzing books and understanding the themes isn’t that hard, but the teachers went so in depth with it that it took the fun out of things.
I always assumed that a lot of other students thought analyzing every detail was how you were supposed to read and didn’t bother reading for fun because they didn’t know that was even an option. We read a lot of classics and they thought the language was dry and boring and just looked up the Sparknotes instead of reading. If they want kids to read without struggling then maybe they could assign more modern books instead of only reading classics.
Many in education for decades have turned their noses up at genre fiction as it has know literary value. In doing so, I believe they have turned many young people off of reading because many of the assigned books are boring to teenagers and written in a non-engaging way. Not saying they should only give kids genre fiction books but I think they should include as a way to get kids into reading as a hobby and not as a choirAssign better books. A lot of these books are boring. Best book I was ever assigned to read was Sodoku and The 1000 paper cranes.
Things Fall Apart and Invisible Man.
Give them asses Game Of Thrones atleast

You got to blame the parents for giving small children phones and tablets to keep them quiet inside of giving them activities that they can use their imaginations and build critical thinking. Also parents should be reading to their kids before they are old enough to start talking.
Yeah, all of us are addicted to these devices to some degree. I wonder how many of those parents actually even care about their kids education.I agree the parents are responsible, but you don't suddenly have all the parents fail at the same time unless there are larger societal issues at play. Most of these parents got addicted to the devices first, that's why the kids are addicted now. The fact that we allowed rich people to develop intentionally addictive products and then market them to the general population with zero constraints is an all-society problem, not just a parental problem.
We regulate nicotine and tobacco. We regulate gambling and porn. But we don't regulate social media and smartphones in any meaningful way at all (at least not in any way that addresses the addictive aspect), while these companies were hiring dozens of psychologists to design their products to be as addictive as possible and then fukking up society with them.
Many posters in TLR are, tooI believe it these young hoes dumb as rocks
The previous generations are just as retarded, but the teachers just let them pass
Look at how many adults use the wrong form of their/there/they're. How many of them can't name 3 countries or even point out Mexico on a map
