UK: Teachers give up making boys read long books

17th May 2011

Read it.

Teachers are giving up trying to make boys read long books because they cannot get past 100 pages, new research as found.

I have a fix for that — two words: Tom Clancy.

    I think you’re exactly right, Tim. What do they have the boys reading, since Huckleberry Finn is banned? “Heather Has Two Mommies”? “It Takes A Village”?

    Some of that is Political Correctness, but part of it is also the failure to understand that the point of the class is to teach the kids to read, not to conduct socialist indoctrination.

    As best I can guess, graphic novels.

    I’m sure this disability comes as news to you, Tim.
