The best thing a high school teacher can is let students choose their own books.

>forced to read tons of shit in school
>have to read Shakespeare in highschool
>not a brainlet so I actually understand it

i appreciated or at the very least didnt hate all of the good things we were assigned in high school. yes, i hated all of the pseudo-YA and grievance study garbage

My school assigned good shit (for the most part) so that was never really a problem for me.

no I'm 18 I was just drunk the whole time lmao

Hated Charles Dickins, loved everything else they made us read

At public schools, it's pretty retarded because you're in a class with the children of people barely skimming through life.

I'm 18 and still in high school :(

that's the dumbest thing i've ever read

>tfw was forced to read Murakami

Relatable.
>tfw had to read an example of 'modern' German literature
>it's Süsskind's 'The Perfume'
>read it
>level of writing doesn't even compare to Goethe, Kafka or even Fontane...
Still motivated me to read the second part of Faust and classics in general.
